These are fabulous and very easy. I substitute Hunts 'chili sauce' (think meat loaf sandwiches) for the 'chili paste'. I mix up all the spices, then drop in the nuts to coat. They have just the right combination of spicy and sweet. What we refer to as 'more-ish' - once you have one you have to have more!

I make them without the red pepper flakes and chili paste for my mild loving famiy, and they are still plenty hot. They still disappear though, as do the gift batches I make the same way.
