Maple Glazed Spiced Nuts
These Maple Glazed Spiced Nuts are so tasty! They have a great balance of sweet and spice and they even have a little kick thanks to a pinch of cayenne.
They are so easy to whip up with just a few simple ingredients – maple, cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of cayenne and of course nuts so these make a healthier treat too!
Not only are these a tasty snack, but they are perfect for a homemade gift too. Whip up a batch and package in containers. These are perfect for a nut lover!
Be warned! Once you make a batch, these are hard to stop eating! I love the clusters and sweet and spicy crunch! They are oh so good!
