I love these nuts! They're the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. These make great gifts for the holidays! Also, if this is your first time making these, I recommend lining your pans with parchment paper.

I made this for Pick-A-Chef. They turned out really well, and I really like the flavor. They are not too sweet, but not hot either. I will definitely make these again. Thank you! :)
