directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a 9-by-13 inch baking dish with parchment and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the A1 sauce, walnuts, and peanuts, tossing until evenly coated with the sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, chili powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt; sprinkle this spice mixture over the nuts and toss to coat evenly with the spices.
  • Transfer spiced nuts to prepared baking dish and spread out into an even layer. Roast nuts in oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing nuts every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting - when done, nuts will be golden and aromatic and sauce will be almost dry. Remove from oven and immediately transfer nuts to large platter or baking sheet to cool. Once nuts are completely cool, break up any clumps with your fingers and stir in dried cherries and chocolate. Transfer mix to an airtight container for storage.
