"These are fantastic! A little salty, a little sweet. Everyone just gobbles them up. Be prepared to make more! I've made them with walnuts and pecans. The pecans are my favorite! These are great to give as gifts during the holidays."

A wonderful sweet & salty treat! I used walnuts as I didn't have pecans and fried them for 5 minutes. I plan to make these at Christmas time and put them in decorative jars for gift giving. Made for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.
