Hey Chris,
Thanks for putting this recipe out there.
These are the greatest! I can't BBQ anymore
without putting a batch of these on after I
pull the meat off.
I use strictly almonds and I heat up the mixture
so it coats the almonds a little more evenly but other than that I follow the directions (below) exactly.

Has anyone else tried these?

Sweet & Spicy Mixed Nuts

These nuts taste sweet at first, but after a few seconds the heat begins to kick in. It's a really interesting flavor combination that will keep your friends and family coming back for more!

Ingredients List
3 TBSP honey
1-1/2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP melted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup whole natural almonds
1/2 cup whole macadamia nuts,
unsalted
1/2 cup pecan halves

Fire-up the Weber Bullet to 300°F. Put the water pan in place to protect the nuts from the direct fire, but leave the pan empty. Select two large chunks of a mild smoke wood--I used apple.

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and all the seasonings. Make sure that any lumps of cayenne or cinnamon are broken down and stirred into the mix. The end result is a thick, sticky seasoning mixture. Add nuts and stir thoroughly to coat.

Butter the surface of a disposable 12" round foil pizza pan, then spoon the nut mixture onto the pan and spread into a single layer. Place the pan on the top grate of the WSM and immediately add the smoke wood to the coals.

Bake at 300°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan 2-3 times during cooking to sort of stir things up. The seasoning mixture will melt and thicken as the nuts are smoked.

Remove from the cooker and let nuts cool on the pan for 15-20 minutes. You can speed the cooling process by putting the pan in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Break the nuts apart and serve them on a plate, as they may tend to stick together in a bowl. Store in an airtight container.
