It is Christmas Eve!
The house full, the fridge is stocked, the snow is falling and the frantic running around has begun (umm, actually that has been going on for the last two weeks!).
We are prepping dinner, making chex mix, wrapping gifts and constantly snacking!
Yes, Snacks. We need lots and lots of snacks!
With so many people in the house we need something everyone can snack on between meals. Something healthy to balance out all the umm, cream, butter, and chocolate!
These glazed nut are the perfect thing! Nice and sweet from the maple syrup with a nice and fun kick of espresso to keeps us going all night long! These will please everyone from meat eaters all the way to the vegans!

Santa Clause is coming to town!
REally liked the flavor, not very sweet but well balanced. Mine set and crisped up nicely, but as they sat and rested became taffy like… thoughts or recommendations?
They are still delicious though
