These smoky chipotle pecans will be your new favorite snack! They are easy to make and have so much flavor. To make these we coat pecans in a spicy, smoky and sweet sauce and bake them until they are crispy, golden brown and perfect. I promise you won't be able to eat just one! These are great as a quick and healthy snack or as a topper for salads.
