Not only are these festive little bowls adorable, but they also happen to be made of sustainable, organic bamboo and coated with a cashew nut-derived lacquer (like, totally seriously!), so you can feel super-good about serving party nuts in them. [$13.00]
By the way, here’s my favorite party nuts recipe, based on one given to me by my mother-in-law. I like to add a bit of heat to this recipe, but these nuts are the perfect balance of sweet and salty with or without the cayenne.
Diane’s Party Pecans
1 tsp cold water
1 egg white
1 pound large pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1 heaping tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne (optional)Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
Beat water and egg white until frothy. Mix well with pecans. Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne (if using). Mix well with pecans. Spread on a cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature and serve.
They keep well in an airtight container–but don’t expect them to remain around long!
