A great spiced nut is one of the first things people gravitate towards. A good mix of sweet, salty, and warm fall spices is what makes this recipe irresistible.
When choosing a nut mix, make sure to pick a fancy grade. “Fancy” lets you know the meat of the nut will be larger. The larger pieces latch onto the sugar-spice blend and are more of a special treat.
The blend of spices in this recipe is not the usual fall blend because uses Garam masala: a blend of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, and nutmeg. The mix is rich and full and evokes a warm blend, perfect for the cooler fall season.

These are delicious! I need help though, I separated them when cooled then I put them in a storage container and they all clumped together again. Any suggestions?
I made these for Thanksgiving as part of a charcuterie board. People loved them! The flavor of the spices is unique and delicious! Give them a try!
Easy and delicious! This was out of comfort zone because it’s not spices I normally use. So happy I tried this recipe! Looking forward to serving it as part of our Christmas cookie party charcuterie board! Thank you Kaleb!
Delicious!! This recipe is definitely a keeper.
These are amazing. I do not have maple syrup so I used molasses. Definitely something I will make again and again. My husband loves nuts so this was a surprise that he loved. He asked me to not lose the recipe. Winner and this hit it out of the park.
I absolutely adored the smell while these were in the oven. Simple and easy to make, but the end result is so worth it! The flavors are perfect! @Kaleb…you would be proud of me, I didn’t forget the salt 😉 love love love watching the video that accompanied this recipe.! It made prep work a breeze.
Perfect combination of sweet and savory. Easy to make and scrumptious to nibble!
