Sugar and Spice Nuts


Having a party?
Looking for a homemade snack to gift?
This is just the item!

This recipe really layers on the flavor!  
I think of them as sweet, spicy and salty nuts.

They are quick and easy to make, they store well, 
they are an easy do ahead item, and all your friends
will love them.

The recipe calls for cashews and almonds, but
select the type of nuts that you prefer best.

In this particular batch, I added almonds,cashews,
macadamia, walnuts and pecans!

As Always,
ENJOY!
