Originally, these crunchy nuts were used to top a salad, but I adjusted the recipe so they could stand on their own as a snack. Cayenne pepper gives them a little kick, making the nuts a fun party starter or hostess gift. - Terry Maly, Olathe, Kansas

I made these to take as a sampler for a fundraiser event, along with a few other items and they were a HUGE hit! I just came up with the recipe a week ago so I have not tried it on my family and friends (I live alone) but mom and dad loved them too. I think you will too. Very simple to make.
