This recipe is very easy and delicious. I made three batches and took other reviewer's advice and added cayenne pepper. Each batch got progressively spicy. These are supposed to be Christmas gifts but I'm not sure I can keep my husband out of them! Thanks for the recipe.

They're pretty good! They make great gifts for coworkers and friends. Make sure you watch your batch closely because they burn easily. 50 sec at a time in the microwave was perfect for me.

These are excellent and so easy. I toasted walnuts in the oven for a few minutes to make sure they were nice and crunchy. Also added a bit of cayenne to the butter mix to give a subtle bite. Added a light sprinkling of salt after the nuts were resting on the paper. Delicious! I'm packaging these for the family this year instead of all those Christmas cookies.

This recipe tasted awesome and was so easy to make. My family devoured these in a day. I'll be making them again soon. Will also try it with peanuts and almonds.

Made these for a Dad's day party today and of course I had to take a taste. Yum! I used the oven method to make them crispier, doubled the cinnamon and added a touch of cayenne for some zippity-do-da. Nothing like a couple of spicey nuts to get you going. Thanks Jim!!

Very good. I used cinnamon, allspice, ginger and a sprinkle of kosher salt to bring out the flavor. I agree with other reviewers that its good to add some extra cinnamon, etc. I think the could have turned out crisper if not prepared in the microwave, but the microwave sure makes it easy. Perhaps I will try pre-toasting the nuts next time.

Thank goodness this is an easy recipe!! I made one batch, for guests, and they were gone in no time. Not only did I have to make more...I also had to print out several copies of the recipe! This one is a keeper!

Not very good. Not enough flavor. Not enough to cover and stick to the nuts. Also the nuts were soggy, not crisp. Won't make again.

I'm always looking for recipes that add more nuts and cinnamon to our diet since both are very nutritious. This recipe is a keeper! Don't just use it during the holidays. These tasty morsels are great to have around all year long! I did use just a tad less butter and sugar, and doubled the cinnamon. Wonderful and so very quick!

the best thing that i can say about this recipe is that it is a quick fix to a craving. i was a little disappointed with the flavor; i wanted them a little sweeter. i used curry, cayenne, and ginger, so maybe i just need to add a little more sugar next time. the easiness of this recipe will encourage me to keep trying.

Wow!!! Very easy and a sure-fire pleaser. Works great as a last minute Christmas gift, snack for company, or...for yourself! Great flavor. Work good with other types of nuts, too. I used a couple cans of mixed nuts and they were just as good. Thanks, Jim!

This is a great recipe. I really liked it. I did pre-toast the nuts and I added ground ginger. I will probably modify it a bit next time too, as I taste more nut than spice, and I REALLY want the spice! :-) Thanks for a great recipe.

My mistake in choosing this recipe was that I was expecting sugared nuts as opposed to glazed nuts. It's still a tasty recipe. With my microwave, the recipe required more cooking time. My glaze didn't set up very well.

This was super easy and tastes really good! The only things I added was 1/4 tsp. of salt to bring out the flavor, and as previously noted, I did toast the nuts at 400F for about 7 minutes. I'll be giving this away for Christmas Gifts! MMMMMMM!

These were good, though I thought could be more spicy, and my preference is for the toasty crispiness you can get from an oven, but not the microwave. Would be a nice snack-in-a-hurry. They are very quick to make, and are dry and cool enough to eat in a few minutes.

These turned out perfect. I had never done candied anything before and most of the recipes I found for nuts seemed like they would take forever and turn out like brittle or something. After I turned them out onto the parchment paper I scattered them so they wouldn't stick. After about ten minutes they were dry and not sticky to the touch (something I was worried about) They tasted so yummy. I also found that toasting them for about 5-10 minutes (watching so they dont burn!!) in the oven at 400 f. brought out the flavor or the nuts. Do this step before candying them.

I just made these and have them cooling now. They are Wonderful!! Made them hoping they would turn out so I could give to co-workers and I really think they will be a hit! The easiest recipe I have ever made Can't believe they turn out in the microwave!! I am sure all microwaves are different but I stoped cooking at 4.5 minutes to be on the safe side with mine and they turned out perfect! Thanks
