  • “I loved the combination of spices, but the 1/2 cup salt was too much.Will try again with less salt.Thanks for posting.”

  • “I only used 1 cup of almonds as I am by myself at the moment! I still used the full amount of cayenne pepper and cumin however, as I love spicy things. These were delicious and so easy to make. I added sea salt to taste and also a sprinkling of smoked paprika for an extra depth of flavour, Made for Hot and Spicy in the Photos forum, merci HappyBunny! FT:-)”

  • “What a great way to jazz up almonds!Just added a sprinkle of salt, instead of 1/2 cup, still tasted awesome.I will definitely be stocking up on these before Christmas.Thanks for posting!”

  • “These tasted awesome, it is a great basic spice mixture! Next time I’ll start with 1/8 cup of salt, adding more as needed, a speck more sugar, and a few drops of liquid smoke. “
