Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups almonds, walnuts, and pecans (or any combination of nuts)
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (optional--or add another 1/4 cup of nuts)

- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon water

Notes
Spiciness: You can opt for a spicy version with the cayenne added as written; for a non-spicy version, just omit the cayenne.
Sweeteners: You can use any sweetener you like. Low carb or traditional. Of course if you opt for traditional, it won't be sugar-free anymore, but that's OK. I haven't tried it with other sweeteners, so I'm not sure how it will behave, but it should taste great either way.
