Raw Test Kitchen

This is a great snack to have on hand in case you get the munchies. You can use whatever nut floats your boat, cashews are my favorite. It has a rich buttery flavor that would off-set the spiciness.
Pecans, crisp up nicely. If you use pecans, try it with maple syrup (not raw product), to add a different flavor.

Just don't eat all the nuts in one sitting, they are high in fat.
