These nuts will be a hit at any party, actually, they are very addictive because they are a little sweet, spicy, and beautifully toasted.
The great thing about this mix is that you can choose any nuts or seasonings you prefer! I sometimes add fresh rosemary to make them more festive for the holidays.
I like to package these nuts in lovely jars decorated with ribbon for a little gift…if there are any leftovers!
