Note

Allow the nuts to cool completely before storing; they will crisp up as they cool.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Adjust cayenne and chile powder to taste depending on desired heat level.

Monitor smoking temperature closely to avoid burning the nuts, especially if using smaller pieces.

These make excellent gifts or party favors; package in small bags or jars.
