10/16: I have made this yesterday to send to my parents as a weekend surprise. I was amazed at how easy everything was to put together and at how good the readily roasted nuts smelled. If their aroma is anything to go by, these will be 5 stars for sure. Ill update my review and assign stars as soon as my parents tell me how well they liked this. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this superb recipe with us, Wickety! Made and reviewed for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game Octobre 09. Update: My parents raved about these nuts. They arrived in perfect shape and my parents thought they were perfect as is, but also that they would like to try adding even more chili pepper for extra heat next time. A THANK YOU for sharing out to you, wickety from them also.

This was wickedly good. It's not exactly light, but maybe a lighter version of a fattening dish. I halved the recipe, but used the whole egg white. The chipotle seasoning was super tasty, and the cranberries and brown sugar made it sweet but not overly so. The egg white did a great job of keeping the spices on the nuts. I tried to feed my cats the leftover egg yolk (scrambled), but they turned their nose up at it:( Will be nibbling on these nuts in small doses. A good dish to serve to company, and I will have leftover for friends who are coming over on Thursday. Thank you!
