    These are absolutely addictive! The perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and crunchy. My family devoured them in one sitting!

  • Ethan Kuhlmangerhold

    My oven runs hot, so I reduced the baking time to 18 minutes and they were perfect.

  • Giovanna Anderson

    I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The smoked paprika suggestion is genius!

  • Aniya Metz

    These are great, but next time I'll use a bit less cayenne pepper for a milder flavor. My kids found them a bit too spicy.
