If you’re looking for a crunchy, slightly sweet snack, look no further – {sweet heat} Mixed Nuts are a delightful snack that would make watching any game more delicious!
Happy January, ya’ll! We spent the last 2 weeks of 2016 visiting family while I had my wisdom teeth taken out. Oh the joys of oral surgery! Things went really well though and I’m nearly back to eating all the normal things. It was a real break from everyday life, I didn’t even open my computer while we were away and that was refreshing 😉
But today I must share this gem of a recipe. Mixed nuts are a sensible snack and I love the flexibility of this recipe. There’s enough salty and sweet with a little heat to make things interesting. Use any nuts you like, I used a mixture of walnuts, almonds, pecans and cashews….amazing! I gave these out in holiday treat packages and they were a hit. And they should probably come with a disclaimer – don’t eat them alone because they’re crazy addictive and you.will.eat.them.all!!!
