Raw nuts or pre-roasted? This recipe calls for raw, unroasted nuts. However, you can use unsalted pre-roasted nuts if this is what you have. Just be aware that the cooking time will be reduced, but long enough for the spiced sweetener mixture to caramelize, approx 5-7 minutes. Use any nuts you like here. You can add more of one type, or switch one out for another, like peanuts, macadamia nuts, or brazil nuts.

Can I make this recipe nut-free? For a tree nut-free version, try making it with a mixture of seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and sesame seeds. As seeds are smaller, this recipe will most likely result in a brittle. In the same way, break into chunks and enjoy!

Can I substitute any ingredients? If you have a premix of pumpkin pie spice, feel free to use that. Just add 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice blend plus 1 teaspoon of cinnamon instead of the ratio of spices listed in the recipe.

How to store pumpkin spiced candied nuts? Once the nuts have cooled, store them in an air-tight jar or container at room temperature. They will keep for many weeks - if they last that long!
