For this gift idea you will need: a container, Sugar & Spiced Nuts and my printable. Whip up a batch of Sugar & Spice Nuts, pile them into the container, print and attach the tag. Finished cute and yummy gift in no time! Here’s the recipe:

Ok- if you’re anything like me, candy thermometers might scare you. DON’T let them scare you!! They are so easy to use. I used to be afraid when any recipe called for one but now it’s no big deal. Just go for it!
