If you like pecans and almonds, you will absolutely love these Spiced Nuts! Mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, the kitchen has a wonderful scent while they are roasting in the oven. This recipe is from my good friend Maria who now, with her husband Roma and their children, live in British Columbia.
We sure do miss them and making these Spiced Nuts brings back great memories of the holidays we celebrated together. This recipe is definitely on our Favorite Family Holiday Desserts list.
This recipe can be doubled or tripled. Adjust the baking time accordingly. Spiced Nuts are perfect for holiday gift-giving.
Warning! These spiced nuts are addictive!
