I accidentally reviewed the "Sweet & Spicy Nuts" recipe, but had actually made this one-oops!!! I made this with a mix of almonds, pecans, and walnuts and it was delicious. The second time I made it, I added some chili powder, a bit of cardamom, and extra cayenne b/c we like things spicy. It's excellent as-is, but even better with the extra kick.

This recipe is excellent! Everywhere I take these almonds, people love them. I have a weird sort of pickiness in that I don't like flavor combinations involving a lot of sweet and savory together (such as sweet-and-sour or sweet-hot). I love these almonds, though!

I made this recipe at Christmas and will make it again. First of all it is very tasty. Second it is very easy to make. And it is not as hot as you may expect, and you could adjust the amount of cayenne pepper if you wanted. As I said I will be making this dish again.

Nice taste--hard to stop eating. The "hot" isn't noticeable at first, but grows a little--but not serious heat.

I'm addicted. Would make a nice gift too.
