Sugar N’ Spice Nuts
Recipe: Sugar N’ Spice Nuts
Summary: Nuts with a sweet and spicy kick. This is a treasured find from a holiday edition Taste of Home . Great for giving as a gift, in a gift basket or serving during the Fall football games and Christmas holidays. I make mine on my baking stone and it seems to work the best.
