I've never made candied nuts before, I think next time I'll add even more heat. I took them to my husband's family Christmas, and they were a huge hit! I tried these and loved them!

I used almonds (which I too had a huge quantity of from Costco and didn't know what to do with, haha) and the second time I upped the salt to 1 1/2 tsp (which I definitely recommend). For my spices instead of the smoked paprika or cayenne I used 1/4 tsp of regular paprika and 1/4 tsp of ancho chili powder because I had those on hand - turned out great! :) Thanks so much for this recipe, I’ve made it twice so far for two different holiday parties and was impressed with how easy it was and what a huge huge hit they were!

It was REALLY hard to wait for them to cool enough to handle and eat. I upped the salt and cayenne a tiny bit, and added a pinch of cumin and a pinch of coriander. Delicious! Wonderful recipe.

They are great! I used a mix of almonds, walnuts, and pecans (at the Costco price of $15 each for 3 lbs each of almonds and walnuts and 2 lbs of pecans), and I added a touch of cumin. These are great! I tried a different sweet and spicy roasted nut recipe last Christmas, and the results were too gooey. These get crunchy and perfect! I might take a cue from last year's recipe and add a bit of ground coriander. Also, I used a baking sheet with a silpat, which made it easy to get the nuts off the pan. I haven't cleaned the pan yet to know how difficult it's going to be to clean the edges though. Just made these for holiday gifts. They are great!

I made these this evening, substituting about 1/2 tsp of nutmeg for the paprika (didn't want the spiciness). I also doubled the batch and did 1/2 almonds and 1/2 pecans. I can't stop eating them! They are supposed to be Christmas gifts for the adults in the family! I think I may have to make another batch just before I leave the house to see them because the ones I made tonight will be long-gone by this weekend. Great blog, great recipe, I'm definitely a fan!
