The ultimate in cocktail nibbles, these nuts will beat anything that you’ll find in the supermarket. Make a big batch before you travel (or watch the big game) and store it in a tightly sealed plastic container — when it’s time, you’ll have something to snack on that requires nothing more than setting out a bowl.
