I followed the recipe exactly and the nuts turned out burnt. I think the oven temperature was too high.

These nuts are a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loves them. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

These nuts are a great way to use up leftover nuts. I always have a few bags of nuts in my pantry and I never know what to do with them. This recipe is a great way to use them up and make a delicious snack.
