Sweet meets savory: Maple-glazed mixed nuts and crispy bacon pieces create an irresistible snack, adorned with fresh rosemary sprigs

_Rolls up sleeves with excitement_

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most amazing work snack that’ll make your colleagues jealous – Maple Bacon Sweet and Spicy Mixed Nuts! Trust me, this isn’t your average handful of nuts. This recipe is a total game-changer that’ll have you feeling fancy even during those endless Zoom meetings.


As someone who’s always hunting for the perfect snack to keep me going through long work days, I stumbled upon this recipe by accident (and maybe a slight hangry moment), and oh my goodness, I haven’t looked back since!

What You’ll Need:
– 2 cups mixed nuts (I use almonds, pecans, and cashews because I’m fancy like that)
– 4 slices bacon, finely chopped
– 3 tablespoons maple syrup (the real stuff, honey – none of that fake business)
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust if you’re feeling spicy!)
– 1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
– Sea salt to taste

Now, let’s get cooking!

1. First, crisp up that bacon in a large skillet until it’s perfectly done. Remove it with a slotted spoon and try not to eat it all (I know it’s tempting, but resist!).

1. In the same pan with that gorgeous bacon fat (yes, we’re keeping it!), toss in your nuts. Toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point!

1. Drizzle in the maple syrup (this is where the magic happens), add the cayenne pepper, and keep stirring. The syrup will start to caramelize – that’s exactly what we want!

1. Add the rosemary and crispy bacon bits back in, give everything a good toss, and sprinkle with sea salt.

1. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely. The hardest part is waiting, I know!
