SWEET AND SPICY MIXED NUTS

Sweet and Spicy Mixed Nuts image

These are the best of all the recipes I have tried. A couple tips after the first review that I didn't bother to write. Don't pour the nuts onto a cookie sheet. Use a slotted spoon and leave the extra "sauce" in the pan. Use the times suggested, otherwise you will get burnt nuts, not tasty. You may reduce the amount of butter slightly depending on the nuts you use. I use whatever nuts I have on hand. This is a recipe that is sweet to the tongue, then lets out a long slow heat. A beautiful balance. Hope you will try and enjoy.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these nuts are surprisingly mild. The sweetness of the honey and brown sugar really balances out the heat of the cayenne pepper.

These nuts are so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in a bowl and mixed them together. Then I spread them out on a baking sheet and roasted them in the oven for 15 minutes.

I've tried many different recipes for sweet and spicy nuts, but this one is by far the best. The nuts are perfectly coated in the honey and brown sugar mixture, and the cayenne pepper gives them just the right amount of heat.

These nuts are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The honey and brown sugar give them a nice sweetness, while the cayenne pepper gives them a little kick.
