We’ve made it to day 12 of The Frilly Apron’s 12 Days of Christmas! I can’t believe it. I had so much fun with this – I hope you’ve all enjoyed it as much as I have.
I’ve been making these spiced mixed nuts for a few years now and everyone loves them. They go great with a glass of wine, on a cheese tray, with a beer, or just on their own. They are quick and easy to throw together too. They also make a nice addition to a green salad.
This year I’ve decided to up the ante on this recipe by adding bacon. If you’d prefer to omit the bacon, this recipe will work just as well. You can also omit the maple syrup, and just double the sugar instead, if you’d like.
The savoury and sweet notes in these nuts make them appealing to everyone. Use whatever kinds of nuts you have on hand – any mixture will do. It’s a great way to use up any extras you might have left over from your baking.
I always double this recipe, since they get gobbled up quickly.
