SUGAR N SPICE NUTS
I make these and give them away every Christmas. The ones I give it to love these nuts. I use 2-1 pecans and walnuts. Almonds are good too but I can't bite into them. I got this recipe a while ago from an elderly lady that came in to the bank I worked at.

Tips:
- Use a variety of nuts: This will give your mix a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, and pistachios.
- Roast the nuts before coating them: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can roast the nuts in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use a combination of sugar and spices: This will give the nuts a sweet and savory flavor. Some good spices to use include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Be careful not to overcook the nuts: If you cook them for too long, they will become dry and brittle. Keep a close eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they are golden brown.
- Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
