The Perfect Gift for Nut Lovers

Looking for Christmas in a bowl? You’ve found it! These Christmas Spiced Nuts are dangerously moreish & the perfect accompaniment to your festive tipple.

We love a sweet treat, especially around the festive season when it’s socially acceptable to have at least one dessert with each meal. But, these Christmas Spiced Nuts could have us opting for hors d’oeuvres over pudding any night of the week!

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, there is a substantial amount of sugar in these too. However, it’s perfectly balanced with the heat of cayenne pepper and the smokiness of chipotle.

Add your favourite tipple (check out our round up of Christmas cocktails for inspiration) and you’ve got a perfect evening on your hands!

Let’s Get Nutty!

The great thing about this recipe is its versatility. Use your favourite nut types – don’t like Brazil nuts? Add macadamias. Not a cashew fan? Try pistachios instead!

The only rule we advise sticking to here is steering clear of peanuts – they tend to dominate in a nut mix and don’t particularly add to the festive flavours.

If you’re looking to spice up your Christmas gifts this year, these nuts would be the perfect homemade addition to any present! Pop them into a festive cellophane bag, seal well and then sit back and wait for the compliments to come flooding in! We’ve even created the label for you to attach as well!

So, the only thing left to do is to make that cocktail!
