2 tablespoons A.1. Original Sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Line a 9-by-13 inch baking dish with parchment and set aside.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the A1 sauce, walnuts, and peanuts, tossing until evenly coated with the sauce.

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, chili powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt; sprinkle this spice mixture over the nuts and toss to coat evenly with the spices.
