Greetings from Thailand! I am currently on an extended vacation and you can follow my adventure by following me on Instagram (lots of amazing photos!)
Before I leave for the vacation, I have lined up a lot of new recipes and posts so Rasa Malaysia will be updated on a regular basis. I have also arranged for a few guest posts from my friend Simply Reem to fill in the void. As this is the holiday season, we are sharing some party recipes and baking/cookie recipes here. When I told Simply Reem that I wanted her to do guest posts of holiday treats, she immediately thought about this amazing sweet and spicy holiday nuts that are sure to please at any holiday parties.
Just imagine serving a bowl of the nuts to your guests while they mingle, I am almost sure that it will be a huge hit. The sweet and spicy notes couldn’t be more complementary to the crunchy peanuts. Try this sweet and spicy holiday nuts recipe if you host holiday parties this year. The recipe is simple enough and with the most basic ingredients. You can get the cumin powder in the spices section of any regular stores. Enjoy!

Hi Bee,
Can I ask if the nuts are cooked that we eat as snack or uncooked nuts that we buy from the baking store.
Thanks in advance.
Merry Christmas

It doesn’t have to be Christmas, I love nuts when watching my sports games.
