Spicy Cocoa-Glazed Pecans image

I've bought pecans glazed in various flavors in the past. Now I know how to make them. I like having glazed nuts on hand for the holidays. I think the cocoa and chili powder combo will really rock.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 c plus 2 tbs sugar, divided
1 c warm water
1 1/2 c large pecan halves
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
3 tsp chili powder
1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
