FFwD - Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts



It's funny, isn't it, how the simple things are often the best. This week's French Fridays with Dorie selection, the sweet and spicy cocktail nuts, couldn't be simpler. You coat two cups of nuts with egg white, sugar and spices, set the coating in the oven, wait for the nuts to cool, and there you have it - one of the best snacks ever.

I made these for my Christmas boxes, but I am keeping the leftovers for me - these nuts are moorish and intoxicating. I would make these again in a heartbeat.

To check out what the other FFwD dare-devils made, go to the LYL link for 17 December at the FFwD website.

I always love sweet and spicy combo and this looks delightfully nostopping crunch.

Your roasted nuts turned out so nicely coated! And, I love the colored ramekin. Very festive!

I'm a little too scared to make this recipe. I have visions of my housemate and I inhaling them so fast we both choke and die simultaneously.

You make them look so pretty and festive. I have got to take myself in hand and get FFwD done over the weekend so I can just post them all at once, I think, yes, I do, that's the only way they are going to get done this month! Thanks for the inspiration.

I wasn't quite sure about the sweet and spicy combo, but I should try these. They would be a great gift for friends.

This is my favorite December recipe from FFwD. I plan to make more this weekend and give them as gifts.

These sound so moreish! And I just wanted to let you know that I'll get you the soft salted caramel recipe. I'm just away at the moment! :)

I made mine for gifts, too! Everyone loved them :)

Elaine said...

They look so pretty and I can't wait to make these since I have been reading everyone say how good they are! It will be nice to make something that doesn't take very long for next week.

I have put off my christmas cooking until the last minute and I'm thinking you are onto something with the nuts for gifts. Well done!

Kathy said...

I also made these for a small Christmas party I hosted and they were a huge hit! Yours look great!

TeaLady said...

So many rave reviews I have to make these.

Look just perfect for Christmas boxes.

These look perfect! Glad you liked them! I was glad they were so easy!

Ivy said...

Wow, easy and delicious but I know I will not stop eating them if I make some.

I also made the cocktail nuts this week and ate them all!
Must make again!
Yours turned up pretty much like mine. I did separate each nut - it was worth it, although I would not have minded some brittle:)
