Spiced walnuts are an easy, tasty gift to give. They are also great to have around the house, I love adding them to salads or using them to top casseroles.

Small children have to be careful about eating these since they could choke, but adults adore them. When I leave them around the house while entertaining they are always gobbled up quickly.
