Our favorite nut recipes. From spiced and candied nuts to everything in between, these recipes make great gifts, snacks, dessert toppings, garnishes...

We love using nuts in a zillion different ways. Spiced and candied nuts are wonderful on cheeseboards, as a cocktail nibble, a salad topping, or a delicious gift from the kitchen. We also love snacking on nuts for a healthy snack. And sweetened nuts make a wonderful dessert topping or treat all on their own. But there's WAY more...

There's a healthy, delicious seeded cracker recipe, our favorite nutty granola and several brittle recipes, which are all fabulous for entertaining and gifting.

Thought for the day:

For to us, a child is born,
    to us, a Son is given,
    and the government will be on His shoulders.
And He will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
