I make this with Splenda instead of sugar for my diabetic dad. Very good. - 3/30/11

I used mixed nuts as well and have tried different mixes of spices. My current favorite is ginger and cinnamon. - 5/16/13

This was perfect. I have made these on the stove top several times with hit and miss results. These came out perfect and tasted better than any other times that I have made them. - 2/18/13

These are good, I changed and used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of the water and used cinnamon for my spice. I roasted mine about 1 hour stirring every 15 min with good results. Thanks for the recipe. - 12/27/12
