I have made these sugar-spice nuts a number of times over the years. I always receive rave reviews when I serve them and guests ask for the recipe. I also like to give them as gifts at Christmas time.

These take a little effort but well worth it. I make these every year at Christmas, and they are always greatly anticipated.
