\u00a0Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a new favorite treat. Homemade spicy honey-roasted cashews. DELICIOUS!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I actually wanted to make spicy-roasted chickpeas. I have never made them at home before. I have seen the recipes on many food blogs, so it couldn’t be so difficult to make. I thought. Well, the chickpeas turned out horrible. Not so much the taste, but the texture of those chickpeas was something between wet cardboard and rubber. Not edible.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nSo there I was with\u00a0 a jar full of this delicious Moroccan spice mix. I upped the cinnamon a little and decided to combine it with honey and make sweet and spicy roasted nuts with it. A full success. Just the right combination of nuttiness, sweetness and spiciness. The spices include cumin and cinnamon which are supported by some extra hotness from ground chili. I can’t stop eating them. I’ve got a bowl of them on my desk right now, another container is kept in my handbag so I can have them on the go.
