Maple Spiced Nuts from King Arthur Flour

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Another KAF winner. We love spiced nuts with that sweet, spicy flavor and this has it all. they also said to enhance the flavor of the nuts, you can toast them on the baking sheet for 7-9 minutes after you've transferred them from the pan."

I reduced this recipe by half, and I'm so sorry. If I'd made the whole thing, I'd have some left right now! LOL These were tasty, even though mine weren't very 'pretty.' I think baking them for a bit would help that, so I'll try it next time. Can't beat the flavor though - thanks for sharing, Bonnie G #2!
