"So simple, so good! Have tried several different combinations of spices, but keep coming back to this one. I use only pecans, but mixed nuts would be fine."

These are GREAT!!! Only recommendation is that you bake these at a much lower temp and turn them very frequently. I did mine at 300, and used a spatula to turn them about every 8 - 10 min, as they will burn quickly w/ the sugar in them.

This recipe is the BEST! I've used walnuts as well, with similar success . . . and the most wonderful aroma fills your home as a result -- which is especially nice over the holidays!

YUM! These are a great snack all year round. I actually love to put these in a salad with baby spinach, dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese, sliced pears, and balsamic vinigrette. REALLY great! I think next time I make them I might try adding some chili powder to the mix for a great spicy/sweet flavor. Only thing I would recommend is to spray the foil with non-stick spray. As I was stirring them during baking I noticed they were sticking pretty bad.
