Spicy Raw Nuts

I’m such a snacker, and am always craving savory/salty, and especially, spicy treats, so you can imagine my joy when I found this great Spicy Raw Nut recipe on one of my fave Raw recipe sites Do Eat Raw.  It did take a little trial and error to adjust the recipe to my liking.

First, their quantities were too small for this snack to last all week, so I doubled almost everything, except for the salty ingredients (Nama Shoyu & Salt, which I actually cut in half…even for a salt lover, the original recipe was way too salty).  Also, I craved more spice so I added some cayenne.  Enjoy!
