My husband often makes these as a treat in our house. They are delicious and could not be easier. Rather than reach for potato chips when craving something savory, try these Curried Nuts. They are also a great way to incorporate the super-spice, turmeric, in your diet. And when craving something sweet, try the Candied Nuts. They can be eaten as a snack by themselves or added to a salad or on top of soup for a sweet or savory addition to your meal. You can use any nuts of your choice. We typically use walnuts and pecans.
