Look no further than these Spicy Pumpkin Spice Almonds for fall - coated in pumpkin spice seasoning, brown sugar and a hint of spice with cayenne pepper.
If you are a pumpkin spice nut like me, then you will go nuts for these 🙂 Whether you just want to snack, munch on a game time treat or need a hostess gift, today's recipe needs to go on your must make list. These are super easy to make and taste great. I have to warn you though, they are also super addicting so you might want to make a double batch!
As I mentioned in my last post (Overnight Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal), I've been thinking about recipes for fall that are pumpkin-ish. I love when it gets a bit cooler and start to do more baking. There is just something about being cozy in the house, putzing around and relaxing.
A big plus to making these, is that your house will smell amazing. Oh ya, no lie! In fact, the DIY Guy came in from outside and was drawn to what I was doing. He loves to be my taste tester and I'm happy to share. Once these cooled, we sampled these candied nuts that are perfectly roasted and nicely crisped.
While I used almonds, you could also use pecans or a mix of both. And to kick these up a notch, I added just a touch of cayenne pepper. It just provides a nice bit of spice to contrast the brown sugar coating. A taste explosion in your mouth!
Remember too these would make a great hostess gift for the holidays. Package them in some small canning jars or small bags tied with ribbon. Sure to be a pleasant surprise! Another easy recipe I have made that would be a great hostess gift, are these Rosemary Spiced Italian Mixed Nuts.
Let's get started with these ingredients!
