Holy Mole Pecans
I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Party Nuts. I plan to make these with Splenda. I also plan to not use the chili powder or cumin.
INGREDIENTS
Nutrition- 1large egg white (2 tbl)
- 1teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2cups raw pecan halves
- 1⁄2cup sugar
- 1⁄4cup cornstarch
- 1tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄2teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2teaspoon ground cumin
DIRECTIONS
- Preheeat the oven to 225. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the egg white in a large stainless steel bowl and whip until frothy. Whip in the vanilla, then gently add the pecans and toss until completely coated with the mixture.
- Place the remaining ingredients in a medium size bowl and toss until well combined. Add the sugar mixture to the pecans, a quarter of it at a time, and very gently toss until well coated.
- Transfer the pecans to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer. Try to not let the pecans touch each other. Place the sheet in the oven and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until the coating is lightly colored and dried out, about 1 hour and 15 minutes trotal.
- Remove from the oven, immediately loosen the nuts with a metal spatula, and set aside to cool before serving.
