I changed up the spices (http://msfishfood.blogspot.com/) and used a silicone mat instead of parchment paper. I did have a bit of trouble cooking the whole mixture on the burner for three minutes because the nuts soaked up all of the mixture. It cooked in the oven alright, no burning and it was easy to transfer the silicone mat to the wire rack then to curl up to transfer the nuts to a zip-lock bag till the get eaten. Hardest part was waiting 45 minutes for the nuts to cool before I could eat some! I'll be making these again and experimenting with the flavors!
