Erica's Spicy Cocktail Nuts

"My sister Erica makes these wonderfully savory-sweet cocktail nuts. They are totally addictive. I especially like the rosemary flavor in there, totally unexpected. This is great to have at a cocktail party as they are simultaneously sweet, salty and spicy. Erica advises to always make a double batch to ensure there are enough left for guests to take home. Keep leftovers in an airtight container."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in the DC area and I love to cook. It is definitely my creative outlet. I like to start with a recipe tweak it to make it fabulous. I don't have a big family to cook for so I throw a lot of parties to try out new recipes, or just invite people over to eat. My friends are very willing guinea pigs. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
