**Happy Holidays** (and a quick, nutty recipe)

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 

from B.Mingled Weddings and Events!

Here's a last minute recipe idea for a holiday party: "Spicy Cajun Party Nuts" (in case you received a delayed invite, burnt the pies, or just plain procrastinated)!

This is super quick, easy, and yummy!

Preheat oven to 250 degrees

Ingredients: 

3 tbsp butter

3 cups plain mixed nuts

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

cajun spice mix (to add as needed)

Melt butter in microwave-safe dish.

Place mixed nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Remove butter from microwave. Stir in remaining ingredients (except cajun spice mix). 

Drizzle butter mixture over nuts & stir to coat.

Lightly sprinkle cajun spice mix on top of nuts to add additional "kick" as desired.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until nuts are crisp, stirring every 20 minutes.

Remove from oven & cool to room temp.

Store in air tight container for up to 1 month.
