When I’m entertaining, I like having something ready for guests to nibble on when they arrive. These Rosemary Cashews are easy to throw together and are guaranteed to elevate a cocktail hour or afternoon snack. They are sweet and salty with a subtle kick of heat. Packaged in a cute container, they also make a thoughtful hostess or holiday gift. There are many flavored nuts available for purchase, but making your own is healthier and less expensive.
