Very delicious and easy party food. I used pecans and doubled the recipe and if I did it again, I wouldn't double the amount of butter because I had a little too much butter in the bottom of the crockpot. However, I tipped them out on to some parchment paper and they turned out fine. I added some cayenne pepper to the spices which gave it a nice "bite" with the sweetness. So more-ish! Will definitely do again soon.

This is the perfect 3 pm work snack. One little handful of these stave off my appetite until dinner. I added a little salt to mine, because I like things sweet AND salty. Thanks for the recipe!

We made these this weekend. Oh my, are they ever good. We made a double batch, half walnuts, half pecans. Will definitely make these again!

These are really tasty, I made and took them to a girls night out, I had tasted a few not long after I made them and thought they were quite good..but found they were even better having left them for a day in an air tight container. My friends all loved them and wanted the recipe.<br/>Thanks for sharing. :)

Perfect for holiday gifts in a mason jar with a bow. Also good put in granola or oatmeal. Tasty and addicting.
