I make these at least every month and add them to my spinach salad,raisin, apple, feta salads. They are the best addition to any salad or snack. I also substitute cinnamon for cayenne for an even more interesting taste. Or just snack on them. try adding some crisp bacon to the mix, yummy! Sweet and spicy - a great quick snack. Best to keep in an airtight container for about a week at room temp.
