Made with powdered sugar, water, pecans, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, this recipe adds a spicy and flavorful twist to plain pecans. Let’s explore some of the health benefits of this delicious treat.

The fiber content in pecans promotes healthy digestion. Consuming an adequate amount of fiber prevents constipation, promotes bowel movement regularity, and supports an overall healthy digestive system.
