SWEET AND SALTY CINNAMON NUTS



Sweet and Salty Cinnamon Nuts image

This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I need to make a snack really quick. I have made these nuts a couple of times and packaged them for Christmas gifts. They also make a good snack on a cold evening. I often make a double batch and use both pecans and walnuts. Salt can be varied depending on how salty you would like them to be. This recipe was originally from a really old Betty Crocker cookbook, but I varied it a little.

This looked so good I had to copy it down. It is from Dishing Up Maine by Brooke Dojny and looks like the perfect snack to serve with drinks. If you don't have Cajun seasoning there is a combination of peppers listed below that you can use as a substitute.
