I'm not rating this since I ended up making a few changes, but the end result was good. I am not sure if cayenne pepper is more spicy than the ground red pepper that was called for in the recipe. But that was what I had, so it was what I used. Wow! They were really spicy. So I ended up adding more of the other ingredients & more nuts to try to tone it down some. I was happy with the end result, though dd thought it was still a bit too hot. I think the final product had less red pepper & rosemary in it, & a bit more brown sugar than the original recipe.
