Day 5 is here! I decided to stay with the theme of great food gifts again today with one of my favorite nut recipes. I love making spiced or sugared nuts for party to put on a cheese board but I also love wrapping them in up in so many cute ways and giving them away. It’s such an old school thing to do and maybe it’s the nostalgia I have around the holidays, but I just love to to package up these Sugared Pecans and give them to friends coworkers or as a favor after leaving a Christmas party. This year I think I’ll just put them out on the table for people to snack on. Also, your kitchen will smell like heaven.
