This spicy nut mixture is a great snack to set out when entertaining guests for a cocktail hour. A little bit of butter, sugar, and a trio of spices make for the perfect bite. Cumin, sumac, and cayenne come together perfectly to add a bit of spice. These nuts come together in about 25 minutes, just the kind of recipe you need when last minute guests are on their way.

I have made these nuts for several parties and keep getting requests for more. They are spicy and sweet and hard to resist. Just make sure to watch the nuts when you toast them so they do not burn.
