These were FABULOUS! I cut down on the spice just a bit, as I was afraid it would be too overpowering :-) I really enjoy spiced peanuts and such, but when you make them yourself, they are 10 times better! I know many people who would really enjoy these....and I plan to make up a few batches for them :-) Thanks!!!!

I liked this recipe alot. But I did add 1/2t onion powder and 1/2t cayene pepper. Just to kick it up abit.

Great recipe! I used this with almonds and put them out with drinks for company. They ate them all up, now I have to go make more!! The only change I made in the recipe was to substitute Splenda for the sugar. A winner, Evelyn!
