WOW! These are so easy and soooo tasty! I made them for my sister's bridal shower, and I'm fighting the hands off--hoping there'll still be some left for the party!! The cayenne pepper is very subtle, and a little sneaky (you don't feel it until after a few nuts). I would recommend baking them on parchment paper, because I did have a little trouble getting them off the cookie sheet after cooling, but maybe I didn't grease the pan well enough. Thanks for a super recipe Lennie! I am planning to make lots of these for gifts this year. -
Absolutely delicious, made these today to include on our nibbles table for Christmas. And the smell while in the oven was divine. -
awesome recipe, easy to make. I couldnt stop eating.---Yum -
These are wonderful and the smell in the kitchen was awesome. Couldn't wait for them to cool down. I will definitely be making more of these.

Just a note to everyone: if you spray your baking sheet well with nonstick spray like Pam, you won't have any "sticky" problems!

Holy addiction, Batman !! We can't put these down ! They're fantastic. I made just a few changes: I whipped up 2 eggs whites because we really like the crunch that they add to the nuts and I also doubled the cinnamon and cayenne and substituted peanuts for almonds, which I loathe. I used regular salted nuts and they were perfect !
