Charishma - I made these to include with our Christmas food gifts - I had a lot of sweet, sugary items and needed something to give the 2 diabetics in the family. These were so easy to make, I couldn't pass up the recipe, and when they were done, I almost burned my tongue coz I couldn't wait to taste them. What I liked most was that the heat of the red pepper doesn't hit you right away. My husband tried some, and said they tasted like toasted walnuts. After a few seconds, he said, "Okay, they taste like HOT toasted walnuts. Pretty good." From him, that's a big compliment. I will definitely make these again. Oh, I did make one change: I left out the butter - one of the recipients is lactose intolerant - and just used olive oil, increasing it to 2 1/2 tablespoons. Worked great. Thanks, Char.
