    OK, that's going to happen. I might add honey for a sweet/hot combo on one batch when I make it.

    Can I add an Alternative?

    about 2 cups brown sugar, I do this by eye based on my nuts, :) about 3-5 large eggs beaten and mixed with the sugar. You want a paste about the consistency of Elmers glue. Add nuts and toss by hand, gloves are a good thing or a spatula. Place on a sheet pan and bake in 350 oven for 10 min stir and rotate, 10 minutes stir and rotate. Take them out before they dry all the way. Leave to cool, they will harden.

    BTW, add what ever you want after you place your nuts on a sheet tray.

    Egg Whites not whole eggs. Thanks Rick.

    I think the only necessary addition is some frosty brews. :eatdrink047

    I agree with Monkey. Some Guinness and some spicy nuts. Apologies if toes were stepped upon.
