A GREAT SNACK! I am a bigtime nut lover and this recipe spiced 'em up!!! Easy preparation and would be great for parties. Prepared as a participant in the Hot, Spicy and Tasty Event in the Cooking Photo Forum June 2009.

Delicious -- DH really enjoyed on a business trip. The only question was that you mention pepper in the directions, but there is no amount of pepper mentioned in the ingredients. Thanks for posting! Dianne

These are ADDICTIVE! I had these for Iftaar today and really liked them. They are not too spicy and very tasty. Very addictive, I'd say. I used Sunflower cooking oil instead of olive oil and table salt instead of sea salt. These are really very very good! They will go very well with drinks also. Thank you very much for sharing!
