Just made these nuts today. So easy. I did add a little cayenne. I make other spice nuts basicly the same way and add curry powder to taste.

I made it using Splenda Brown Sugar, even less carb

I wanted a less spicy version and reduced the Extra Spicy Seasoning and the Lemon Pepper Blends to one half of the indicated amounts, and Oh Boy! Just Right.
