I just made these in preparation for a Christmas Eve party. After sampling, I'm going to make a 2nd batch right away!

I made this recipe last fall. My husband took some to work. Three guys asked for the recipe. When I made it the second time, I split the batch and sent some home with both of my adult kids. They've been begging me to make more. Very, very good recipe!

Great recipe,easy to assemble, no mess. What's not to like? I used parchment paper, no sticking. Will make again. Thanks Joan

Made this recipe on a whim to take along to local winery lawn concert...should have doubled the recipe! We couldn't stop munching - very tasty. Yes, would make again and I've shared the recipe! Thank you

I took a bowlful of these nuts to a New Years Eve party and came home with an empty bowl. Every one loved them.

This simple and delicious nut appetizer was just right for the 'get to know' before the party meal was served.

I added 1/4 cup more of each nut and added 2 Tablespoons of bourbon and a 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract. The mixture is verry sticky until it dries.

These are excellent! I made several types of spiced nuts this year and this was hands-down the clear winner! The nuts stayed nice and crunchy and had just enough flavor without being overpowering. I greased the sheet well but they still stuck, so next time I will try it on the release type foil.
