These are so good! Barely out of the oven, and I have tasted them a half a dozen times. I did double the batch, along with adding a few pine nuts and hazel nuts. I used 3 egg whites with 3 tsps. of vanilla, along with 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar and white sugar, 1/2 tsp. of salt, 2 tsps. of cinnamon, 2 tsps. of chili powder, and a heaping tsp. of cayenne. Such an easy recipe, and the next time I make this, I will quadruple the amount so there will be enough to share.
First time making anything like this. Had some unroasted unsalted almonds that were sitting around so decided to kick them up to make them more appealing. At the advice of the other reviews did less sugar and also added a pinch of smoked paprika. Turned out great the whole family loved them. Just a little hint is that I wasn't sure they were done cuz they were still sticky/gooey but after giving them a little extra time just decided to pull them out and when they cooled the coating dried up nicely. So may appear to still be sticky/gooey after the hour but when cooled will be fine.
I made a third of this recipe to see how I'd like it and I will make some more. The directions are very easy to follow and the nuts turn out just like you think--evenly coated with the mixture. You could easily change out the seasonings in the sugar and I'm thinking I'd like a little cayenne to accompany the flavors next time. Thank you for the recipe!
My first batch turned out good but not spicy enough. My second batch was sweet and it wasn't until you finished chewing and swallowed before the spicyness hit. They were goooood. I making my third batch now. If almonds weren't so stinkin expensive I'd make more!!! They are very high in protein and nutritious (or at least in my mind they're nutritious:-)... great snack tho.
Way too much sugar! I reduced it to 1/4 white and 1/4 brown and it was still sweet. Maybe it would have been better with more salt too to balance the sugar taste.
This recipe came out great! I used peanuts & almonds and cut both the sugars in half and added a bit more chili powder for more kick though.
These are AMAZING! My husband and kids just attacked these!. The first batch I made was all almonds and a handful of Pecans. The 2nd batch- I mixed almonds, cashews, and pecans. I added a tad more salt, and used half a tsp regular chili powder and half a tsp of Hot chili powder. So good!
Sooooo addicting! Don't make these unless you have a lot of people to share with because you won't be able to stop eating them! I agree with other reviewers that you should cut back the sugar.
I made this recipe for gifts for pastor and a teacher. Pastor's wife told me they were great; their kids enjoyed them too and asked for recipe. I did it exactly as listed. There didn't seem to be much spice though. I think I saw somewhere you can add cayenne pepper? I may try that next time. Linda
