I must say that back in the day I won the Bayou BooGaloo's Hot Nut's eating championship and since then every so often I get these incredible cravings for a great fiery little snack! This recipe usually does the trick in satisfying my hunger for some hot spicey nuts. Just wanted to share.

Preparation:.
Stir together ground chipotle , sugar and salt in a small bowl, and set aside. Heat almonds and almond oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, stirring and shaking the pan occasionally, until the almond skins are popping and almonds are fragrant. Turn down heat to medium-low and stir in chipotle mixture; heat and shake skillet for about 30 seconds, to release chipotle's oils. Move to a bowl and let cool just slightly before serving warm
