OMG! Supah easy - why this isn't a 1 in terms of difficulty level, I don't know. My biggest problem with them is not to snack on them as I pack them up for thank you gifts or Xmas presents. Suggestion: try dried chipolte pepper as an alternative to cayenne pepper. May need to up the quantities of chipolte peper versus cayenne chipolte isn't as hot. Chipolte will give a bit of smoky flavor to the nuts. As to cooking time, went the full 40 minutes though I love toasted pecans.
CDKitchen Note: Recipes that contain alcohol are not kid-friendly (which a difficulty level of "1" is).
