I’m sharing my Sweet and Spicy No-Bake Holiday Nuts recipe with you today because they remind me of a sweet and spicy little 4-year-old Samarah.
Last night, Samarah stood on our bookcase upstairs and repeatedly told me, “I’m not naughty. I told you every time. I’m not naughty.” I told her that Ellie their Elf was watching, and wasn’t sure how he felt about the situation. She insisted. “No. Not naughty.”
Yes. Naughty. But also just totally sweet and spicy.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s dig in.
I love a good nut mix, and I think it’s something that is super easy to make as a holiday snack and/or DIY gift.
So I created Sweet and Spicy No-Bake Holiday Nuts. If you love cashews and almonds and snacks like trail mix which give you the perfect sweet and spicy blend, you will love these, too!
