\u00a0<\/span>If you like Buffalo-flavored things, these nuts are a must-try, low carb snack. They are simple to make, so it’s easy to whip up a batch for a party or on game-day. Or just for having around the house for snacking.<\/p>\n

My husband couldn’t stop picking at them when he came home from work. I kept running my finger around the bowl where I’d tossed them together, the sauce was so tangy and good. And since they were nuts, instead of chicken, I didn’t run the risk of giving myself salmonella by doing so!<\/p>\n

I will tell you a few things to keep in mind. First, skip putting in any hazelnuts – I only put some in my mix because I was short on almonds. But they don’t have the right flavor for the buffalo seasoning. They aren’t awful, just not as good as the other nuts.<\/p>\n

The pecans are very good, because they impart a kind of sweetness that goes surprisingly well with the hot sauce.<\/p>\n

Also, if you like your Buffalo-flavoring to be hot, put in extra cayenne. I would definitely put in more next time. The sauce tasted quite spicy after I’d mixed it all together, so I thought there was enough.<\/p>\n

But in the roasting process, some seems to fall off the nuts so they lose a bit of heat. They are still really great, but not quite as hot as I would like them.<\/p>\n
