Sweet and Spicy Nuts and Pretzels
This easy snack mix is crunchy, sweet, salty, and just spicy enough. Mixed nuts and pretzels get coated in melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne, then baked for a toffee-like consistency. These are a great snack on game days or movie nights. Serve them alongside a big pitcher of our Winter White Sangria or your favorite mocktail!

- Toast the nuts on a foil lined sheet for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove them from the oven and let them cool while you make the sauce.
- Add butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cayenne, cinnamon, and salt to a small pot and cook until fully melted and emulsified, about 3 minutes.
- Add the toasted nuts and pretzels to a bowl and toss with the sauce until everything is coated, careful not to break the pretzels. You can also toss everything with the sauce on the sheet tray but it will be more challenging (in our experience).
- Bake the nuts and pretzels at 350F on the same foil lined sheet for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a spatula to toss the nuts, then place them back in the oven and bake for another 7 minutes.
- Toss the nuts again, then let them cool completely before eating.
