I saw this on t.v. last week & made them for neighbors, placed in Halloween sacks and added some original M&Ms. Good stuff! However, I too used pecans instead of walnuts, raw almonds vs. roasted & salted, roasted & salted peanuts vs. cashews, & added 1/3 cup each: dry roasted edamame, dry roasted sunflower kernels, & raw pumpkin seeds -- just because they were in my cabinet. I also left out the sugar & placed 1/2 cup Stevia as sugar substitute. YUM! Thanks, Giada!

I made them for a football game party and they were a HUGE hit. I made them according to the recipe except used pecans in place of walnuts. The pecans were hands down the favorite nut in the mix. The spice was a bit overwhelming for the children so next time I will make half as written and half with more cinnamon and much less cayenne and curry. But a super recipe overall.

I wanted to serve these at a bridge party, but they were way too sticky and would have gotten all over fingers and cards. Flavor was OK but I've had better.

I've made these before and they are phenomenal! However is there something I can substitute for egg whites? I'm making these for a Vegan crowd so no dairy products. Maybe vegan butter? Anyone know?

These are delicious. I already had the spices, so no complaints on price for me. You can always sub things out or try a different recipe if you don't want to spend money on a specific ingredient.

Specifically to answer large, who thought they would not get an answer as to why chef's "waste" so much food- it is because chefs are more concerned with quality than quantity. Further, I find it unreal that people are criticizing Giada for daring to have a recipe that only uses egg whites- that is how spiced nuts are made. What's next- a pitchfork for Ina if she dares make a souffle (uses more whites than yolks? Either don't make the recipe if the "waste" bothers you, or get creative. Make a hollandaise with the leftover yolks, freeze them, etc.

I've made this Recipe several times & it always turns out fantastic! I've occasionally substituted peanuts for walnuts due to food allergies in my family, and it's still wonderful. I think any roasted/salted nuts would work if you have to substitute. Spices can be expensive if you buy in the spice aisle. I started buying the bulk spices in the produce section of my regular grocery store, and I have saved SO much money. (Cardamom is $2.98 for 1 oz. I shop at Kroger - no fancy whole foods stores or anything, no extra stops! The nuts are wonderful - I'm getting requests this year to bring the spiced nuts!

Made this recipe just as it is written and they turned out awesome!!! These are truly addictive. Unique blend of exotic yet familiar flavors with that perfect combination of sweet, salt and spice. Nothing like what you can buy in the store and so easy to make. Guests will definitely be impressed!
