Here’s a quick and easy holiday nut mix with a difference! I love having nut mixes on hand during the holidays and often make these Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Nuts. This year, I added Sweet and Spicy Pretzel Nut Snack Mix to my list of favourites, but now, here’s something new that I’m excited to share with you: Espresso Glazed Holiday Nut Mix.

This holiday nut mix has a bit of a kick from the instant espresso and if you like that rich coffee flavour as much as I do, you will love these nuts.

I’ve packaged them up for gifts, but I know I’m going to have to make a double batch next time. Soon.

This is a simple 3-step recipe:

Combine the glaze ingredients and heat to boiling.
Stir in the nuts.
Bake in the oven.

Enjoy!
