Ina Garten gets all the credit for this awesome recipe! These nuts are based on the bar mix at Union Square Cafe in NYC, which uses mixed nuts in their recipe. I started making these a few years ago, and a whole batch has been known to disappear in one night! I highly recommend doubling […]

This recipe was shared with my sister years ago, and while it’s a family favorite, one of those recipes I tend to forget about. Not sure why?

I usually double this recipe so there are plenty of leftovers. Our family likes a little kick, so I use smoked […]
7 Layer Bars
