We got these as a Christmas gift. Yummy! They were made with almonds instead of pecans and were delicious. The recipe included with ours had 1/2 tsp coriander instead, otherwise was the same.

The spice on these nuts is perfect! I used 1 cup mixed nuts and 1 cup cashews. Two cups of pecans are a little too pricey for me. And I like the variety of mixed nuts (although I love the few pecans in there!), and especially with extra cashews.

Tantalizing! Sweet, hot, very crisp; fast and easy to make. Can't ask for more!

These are truly wonderful. I used half almonds, half pecans. Also didn't have Allspice so substituted 2 parts cinnamon, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part cloves. My biggest challenge is finding a place to hide these nuts so I have enough left for Thanksgiving.

Delicious! I made these for a friend's bridal shower with pecans and almonds. They were a huge hit. Just the right amount of spice. Very unique and lovely.
