HOT AND SPICY COCKTAIL NUTS
I made these this Christmas as a "nibbling" food, and my family really liked them. They must have been nibbling big time, because these cocktail nuts were all gone before I knew it.

SPICY COCKTAIL NUTS
This recipe came from a combination of a few recipes. I love spicy foods, and wanted to find a nut recipe that had plenty of spice. These are great for get-togethers or just to snack on. I like to use the deluxe nut mix that doesn't have any peanuts. Better make sure you have plenty of cold drinks on hand!
