"Diabetes friendly spicy pecans with a little kick! This is just enough cayenne to give that kick. If you like hot and spicy, add more. NOTE: Newer slow cookers tend to run at a higher temperature, so you may need to adjust cooking time accordingly! Someone asked if these could be made with real sugar. Don't know, but Splenda and sugar are used in a 1:1 ratio, so it might."
