It is time for more nut recipes again! I am trying to come up with some healthy snacking options for us, so decided to try some new flavored nuts.

This is one that I found online, and used different nuts and a little more maple than suggested. Here is my version yet you can find the original recipe at the link below.

Maple Chocolate Chili Nuts

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, Grade B for baking
2 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
2 cups pecans, almonds and/or walnuts
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon chipotle powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Mix everything but the nuts together. Toss with the nuts and then spread out on a baking sheet covered with a silpat or greased. Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes. Toss nuts and bake another 5 minutes. Pull out of oven and let cook on sheet before moving them.
