  3. Place the cinnamon, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, and set aside.

  4. Place olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, and heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns a light golden brown color. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.
