These are addicting!! I used a sugar substitute (Splenda) yet it' s not even noticeable. They can be eaten by themselves or used as additions on salads or anything. They are the best especially for anyone looking for a spicy nut recipe with no/low sugar.

These were awesome, tho I'll admit, I reduced the temperature to 275, and toasted them for 30 minutes. I think 350 is too high to toast nuts. But the flavor is very reminiscent of 'fair' pecans and I'll be happy to share these with friends next Christmas! Thank you for sharing, abe ray!
