Spicy Buffalo Mixed Nuts
Well, hello 2012. I sorta keep pinching myself because I’m thinking that I’m in a dream. That 2011 isn’t really over. “Time flies” is an understatement. What a great year it was. So all I have to say is that this year has BIG shoes to fill.
This recipe is definitely a start to filling those shoes. I would even say that this *might be*my new favorite snack. I’m pretty sure you are aware of our affection for Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Imagine what happens when I combined my favorite spicy flavors with a salty snack like mixed nuts…well, I mean after I took a few sips of water…I. Was. Hooked. I mean, immediately.
Try these for your next party or potluck or dinner. You will definitely be very popular, I promise!
