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.

Conclusion:

Sugar n' Spice Mixed Nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great gift idea for friends and family.
