These are really good! I used walnuts, it was what i had. So easy, I didn't heat til boiling. I just warmed the mixture till sugar dissolved. Next time, I will just skip the stovetop step and mix everything together and put in oven. I followed the exact recipe and these are very yummy. I can't stop eating them. If making for more than yourself, double or triple this recipe. Will make again, so simple. If your worried about the spicy factor, don't. They are just well flavored. I don't like things too spicy, so these were perfect.
