These nuts are fantastic. So easy and everyone accuses me of putting something in them that makes them addictive. Thanks for sharing. I think it is the Cayenne Pepper. -
These are easy and taste great! I only used 1/4 tsp cloves. -
I can't believe that no one else has tried these and written a review...I am making them for the third year in a row for xams and hostess gifts...they are superb and so very easy to make. TRY THEM...you will love them.

I'm a small animal veterinary technician working full time. In my spare (?) time I love to bake and cook. I have about 80 different cookbooks and I guess my favorite ones are those that involve CHOCOLATE!!

<br>My biggest 'pet' peeve is people who treat their dogs and cats like disposable products...look after the health and well-being of your pets, PLEASE! They depend on you! ('Nuff said!).

<br>June 2003 Update: I now work part-time as a vet tech and part-time as an ER ward clerk at a local hospital. After being a technician for 20 years, the emotional stress was getting too hard to handle. Putting an older pet to sleep after I'd watched them grow up over the years was something I could no longer do. I decided to look for a new job while I was still 40-something rather than wait 4 years when I was 50-something! Working with animals is in my blood however, so I could not give it up entirely.
