spicy or sweet nuts for smoking?

[rosencra38]

Thinking of trying some smoked peanuts. My mom has given me her old recipe for her roasted nuts but they are sweet. I see a lot of people on here that are doing their smoked nuts with a spicy mix and not sweet. Has anybody tried a sweet mix for their nuts in the smoker?

Sweet is good especially with walnuts.

On almonds or pecans, I use Frank's red hot with a little molasses to bind with.

Here are a couple of different ones I have done

I just did some the other day with a mixture of Chipotle powder and garlic powder that I have not had a chance to post yet - came out real good

Hope these help

The last ones I did were almonds. Gave them all a coat if honey, then put Salt Lick seasoning on some (spicy) and Plowbpys Yardbird on the rest (salty with just a little kick)
Try a couple of flavors you think will go together - the nice thing about nuts is you can try a bunch and see which you like best - no huge investment.
