Spicy Cocoa Glazed Pecans

Candy-glazed pecans are a great treat to have on hand for impromptu snacking. This Spicy Cocoa Glazed Pecans recipe combines sweet and spicy flavors with the delicious crunch of roasted pecans. Our Spicy Cocoa Glazed Pecans recipe calls for cayenne pepper to kick it up and HERSHEY'S Cocoa to sweeten it down. Go nuts with this glaze because it pairs well with almonds or peanuts, too.  Once you've mastered these sweet and spicy pecans, get ready for sweet and salty with this recipe for ROLO® Pretzel Delights!
