My friends can’t keep their hands off of my nuts….my cocktail nuts, that is. This is a great snack to serve with beer, wine, or cocktails; especially if hosting a football game party. The brown spice from the BLUE ELEPHANT MASSAMAM CURRY gives these traditional party nuts an added kick and depth of flavor that is equally surprising and delicious.

We’re using pecans, almonds, cashews, and pistachios; but feel free to substitute your favorite nut combinations…I’m also quite fond of peanuts, walnuts, and Macadamia nuts. Snack, snack - thump thump!
