I’m going to sneak one more pumpkin recipe in before it is too late! And this one is perfect for Thanksgiving entertaining. If you are like us, you don’t eat Thanksgiving dinner until late afternoon so you need lots of delicious snacks to fill up on during the morning.
My husband is addicted to nuts (I really can’t think of a non-funny sounding way to say that!). We always have a tub of almonds or peanuts on hand and once they are opened they don’t last long. He particularly loved it when I was testing this recipe because I made about five batches just to make sure they were delicious.
Each time he would say, “these are so good, do you have more?” and I would say, “they aren’t quite there yet, I guess I should make more”. That being said, you might want to make a double batch for your friends and family!
The weather is finally perfect here and of course I just caught a cold, so I’m going to make this post short and sweet so I can get back to couch laying and TV watching. For the first time in a long time we have family coming to spend Thanksgiving with us so I gotta get better by next week! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week š

Lol- “my husband is addicted to nuts”. That is too funny! But I know what you mean, so is mine! He could eats nuts and olives and be a happy camper all day long. I love the sound of your pumpkin spiced version. They would make a great gift too!
He could eat like ten pounds in one sitting, haha! I guess it is good that they are pretty healthy! I could probably live in nuts and olives too š Thanks, Sarah!
I thought they would just have “pumpkin spice” but now that I see they have puree, too, that’s interesting. It’s nice to have that binder be something vegan. Hope you feel better soon!
It gives them a really nice flavor adding the pumpkin puree! And you are right, it is a great binder too š
Oh no! Feel better! I hope your cold goes away before your family arrives! And these mixed nuts … would not last two seconds at our house!
Thanks Ashley! I’m finally starting to feel a little better! Haha, mixed nuts never seem to last very long!
I love snacking on nuts, too! Especially when they’re filled with fun flavors like this. Sounds like the perfect treat to munch on!
Thanks Gayle! They were really good and now I want to make more!
These look so yummy!! I love fun-flavored nuts! And they are definitely perfect for the holiday entertaining season. š Or even gift-giving!!
Thank you, Jess!! Gift Giving is a great idea! If I can part with any of them… lol
Yes please!! When I make things like this it is really not good because I eat them all in like one sitting! š
I know, it is so bad, haha! I guess nuts are healthy though, right?!
I’m pretty sure that I’d be doing the exact same thing as your hubby if I had these nuts ANYWHERE near me! As in…they’d be gone. Pretty much instantly. š
I seriously can’t stand how genius these are—I want these on my T-day appetizer table!
Haha, you would have to make so many batches for everyone in your house!
Someone would have to take these off me, as I wouldn’t be able to stop eating them. Perfect for the Christmas snack table!
Haha, that is pretty much what happened here š
