I would give the recipe 4 1/2 stars, were that possible. I couldn't get the nuts to go on the cooky sheet in a single layer because the glazing was pretty thick after coating the nuts, so I stirred them a bit after they'd heated up in the oven. Still, in the end, they were clumped together and had to be separated after cooling. I would increase the spice level, adding extra cayenne or some ground black pepper. It did take the full 13 min. in the oven to achieve the glaze. I will give the recipe another try.
