This is a good recipe to start with. I started with 2 tsp of Chipotle powder and the rest of the spices as listed in the recipe. After tasting the spice mixture I knew it would be too spicy for the group I would be serving it to. So I added a packed tsp of light brown sugar, another 1/8  tsp of granulated garlic, another 1/2 tsp of Cumin, and another 1/2 tsp of Coriander. This made the heat just right for our tastes. I baked it for 20 min stirring 3 times- any longer it would burn - watch carefully. I felt the lime zest got lost - I could only taste it on the cashews. It could have been a little bit sweeter - maybe next time I'll use 2 TBSP Light Brown Sugar and maybe another 1/2-1 tsp more Lime Zest. It has a good smoky flavor. I think it needs more Mini Pretzels. All of the pretzels were gone after about a half batch was eaten - I have about 2 - 3  cups of just nuts. Maybe I will use 2 or maybe 3 cups of Mini Pretzels next time (may have to use more egg whites and add more spices). All in all it it's  a good mix of flavors and the spice (heat) level can be dialed up or down. But I still think it needs another element - maybe something sweet and tangy like dried cherries or cranberries (I wouldn't increase the sugar then) added after the baking. I will make again and play around with this recipe depending on who I''ll be serving it to.
