I love making this Sweet and Spicy Nut Party Mix Recipe for the holidays which I whip up a big batch every year so I can wrap up into Christmas tins.

Nuts for the Holidays?
Nutcracker dolls originate in the late-17th century Germany around the Ore Mountains region. The first nutcracker doll to have been created is believed to be a craftsman from Seiffen. They were often given as gifts, and at some point they became associated with the Christmas season. Nuts were used to decorate the Christmas tree and on the 12th day of Christmas the family would crack them open and enjoy them together.
Later in Germany, the Nutcracker became a guard in front of the house to keep it safe. Today, the tradition of cracking nuts at Christmastime has become common in many cultures.
