Day 1: Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Cashews
12 Days of Tasty Gifts
Iβm kicking off my 12 days of delicious tasty Christmas treats! All 12 of these are great for gift-giving, hostess gifts, and snacks for the home! And these sweet, salty, rosemary-ish, slightly spicy nuts are so so good! They are perfect for entertaining, snacking, or as gifts.
Iβve also added some of the items I use to wrap my edible gits to my Amazon store front, and Iβll be adding them to this list as I post my 12 days of gifts. I hope itβs helpful. Enjoy! xx, L
