I love this recipe, the walnuts were so good. I thought it was a great balance of sweet & spicy. (I used Splenda). Super easy to make.

The walnuts burned even when stirred every 10 minutes. I think if the cook time/temp were adjusted the flavor would be good, so optimistically went with two stars, even though my first attempt at this recipe was definitely a one star.

The walnuts burned. The cook time of 35 minutes is too long.

I had problems with the 325/35 min. Threw away the first batch because they tasted burnt. Based on other good reviews, will try again and lower the temp.

This was pretty good. I didn't have any problems with the bake time. I stirred every 10 minutes. I think it could use a little more sweetness. Getting ready to make some more and I might up a few spices and maybe add some brown sugar.

35 minutes at 325 was too long to cook - Mine had a burned flavor even though I stirred them every 10 minutes. I will change the time or temperature the next time because they were great before cooking.

I made these exactly as the recipe stated, except that I forgot to put the pepper in (because I had to grind it first!) and they were delicious! Next time I will up the sugar to 1/2 cup (but using Splenda) and increase the cinnamon a bit to 3/8 tsp and maybe even up to 1/2 tsp. Buying more walnuts for lots more batches tonight!
