It is day 3 of my homemade holiday treats series and I am pleased to report that we are still going strong. 
And, although I am loving all the sweet treats that are slowly filling my fridge, I couldn’t resist throwing in a ‘savoury’ treat which happens to also be one of my favourite ‘nibbles’. Spiced nuts. Or in particular… 
A chilli lime nut mix! 
Which really are just nuts… 
Tamari, honey, lime zest and chilli… 
Roasted… 
And voila! 
Simple to make, but guaranteed to be gobbled up in no time at all. 
My version ended up a little sticky, so I will hold off providing a specific recipe at this stage. It still needs some more tweaking, but I am sure to have one for you in the not too distant future. 
The flavours, however, were rather tasty with the freshness of the lime zest and the hint of spice from the chilli. 
I think they will make a nice alternative for those who are feeling a little sugar overloaded over the festive season (although these do have an element of sweetness in them owing to the honey!). What about you? Ever made your own nut mix?
