This Naughty and Nice Spiced Nuts recipe has become a Christmas tradition at the Loon/Longwell house. We love them…start off sweet and inviting, and then finish off with a bit of a naughty sting.
The sugar and the spices work together perfectly as they coat the varied nuts and then bake to perfection.
This is the perfect snack to have around the house during the Christmas season.
When these spiced nuts are baking nice and low and slow, the smell is just wonderful. The only problem is, it’s almost impossible to not keep coming back for more, and more, and more!
So delicious!
