For an even deeper smoky flavor, try using smoked nuts. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred heat level. Start with less and add more to taste. Make sure the bacon drippings are warm but not scorching hot to prevent the butter from splattering when combined. Store the cooled mix in an airtight container to maintain its crispness.
