The ultimate party appetizer recipe or edible gift, these sweet and savory mixed nuts are always a crowd pleaser!

With the holiday entertaining season in full force, I’m always in need of easy hostess gifts, appetizers and goodies to pass out to friends and family.
The nuts are roasted in a little butter then tossed with brown sugar, rosemary, and other spices.

They take just minutes to prepare these sweet and savory mixed nuts the ultimate last-minute party dish or make-ahead hostess gift to have on hand all season long.

Don’t have these particular nuts? No problem! Any type will work including pecans, hazelnuts, and more.

Just do yourself a favor and make an extra batch to keep for yourself. You’ll be so glad you did.
No forks required.
