These were the hit of my party and they went FAST! They are to die for, and next time I'll quadruple the recipe! I used my own Chinese Five Spice recipe in this. I think these would make a wonderful gift for holidays. Thank you for sharing!

Since my wife, and daughter went out shopping, I figured that 2 cups would be plenty for my 12 year old and I.. WRONG. Have to say these were fabulous, as we enjoyed them during the basketball game tonight. As for the seasonings, I wouldn't change a thing as we devored them all. Made for New Kids on the Block.
