    Heat oven to 300°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

  • To make paper cones, cut food-safe paper into 6-inch squares. Roll into cone-shape and tape to secure.
  • Any mixture of nuts can be used; whole almonds, pistachios or macadamia nuts are also wonderful in this sugar and spice mix.
