These Pumpkin Pie Spiced Walnuts are an easy and delicious fall treat.
Nothing screams fall like the flavors of pumpkin pie spice. I love the cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y, clove-y aroma and flavor. I can’t help but think of family gatherings and cozy nights.
I love to incorporate this flavoring into anything I can — coffee, cakes and most recently, walnuts.
I used my recipe for Cinnamon Crusted Pecans and tweaked it a bit to add the warm Pumpkin Pie flavor that I’m loving this time of year. The result was incredible!
These sweet and spicy nuts are the perfect fall treat! And, they go perfectly with this Snapple Straight Up Tea™ that I found at my local Giant supermarket. It’s quickly become one of my new favorite drinks. After all, it is the best stuff on Earth, right?!
Snapple Straight Up Tea™ is real brewed black tea sweetened with just a touch of real sugar. Just a touch. I like that. I prefer drinks that aren’t very sweet so the Sorta Sweet variety was the perfect choice for me. Especially when paired with these nuts.
This tea also comes in Sweet and Unsweetened varieties so there’s a variety for everyone.
Snapple Straight Up Tea™ is definitely a keeper!
