Our favorite recipes featuring nuts. From spiced to candied and everything in between, these recipes make great gifts or snacks. 

We love using nuts in a wide variety of ways. Spiced and candied nuts are wonderful on cheeseboards, a cocktail nibble, salad topping, or a little gift from the kitchen. Sweetened nuts make a wonderful dessert topping or treat all on their own. We've also included a great seeded cracker recipe and paleo granola, both wonderful to have on hand this holiday season.
