  1. I have been looking for a simple spiced nut recipe and have found the perfect one. Not to sweet or spicy.
     
  2. BH & I thought this recipe was okay, nothing great. I feel that the sugars came together well to coat the nuts. I'm not sure what it was missing, but to me, it needed something. My BH's family enjoyed it a lot so it wasn't a total loss.
     
  3. This recipe is fantastic! I made it exactly as it is written and it turned out really well. It provides a very nice blend of sweet and spicy and is very addicting! I did increase the recipe by 1/2 so that I could use 3 cups of nuts (1 cup each of pecans, walnuts, and almonds).
     
  4. Loved it and thought it was so good, I might just try this on popcorn too. That was DH's comments which I appreciate (that means he REALLY liked them, this is his first review) but wanted to give you more detail. We used just walnuts coz that's what we had. Couldn't find the cinnamon, so instead added ground coriander (goes well with cumin) and garlic powder (love the stuff)! End result is a very moreish sweet, salty & spicy snack. Look forward to making this many many times again. Thanks for sharing :-)
