A half cup of walnuts is 8 g carbs, 4 g fiber, or 4 net carbs plus however much splenda.
Plus, a half cup of walnuts contains about 4.5 g of Omega 3 fatty acids!

I messed with this, as I was looking for a substitute for my favourite snack that I used to make with popcorn. Sooo...I thought I would try it with the walnuts--delicious!! I use your recipe, but instead of cinnamon, I add in salt, chili powder and parmesan cheese. Salty, sweet and spicy...yumm, yumm...
