Vanilla Mixed Nuts with Cranberries. A great holiday treat or edible gift |Betsylife.com #12bloggers

12 bloggers has been such a fun project this year, and I’m happy to wrap up our series with twelve festive holiday treats. If this were an in-real-life party, I would totally devour all these amazing goodies, but lucky for my waistline, I can only admire the photos from afar.

Holiday parties are not my most favorite thing in the world (small talk. no thank you), but the food is always what keeps me in attendance. Sweets, appetizers, dips, nuts, finger foods……mmmmmmmm. I love them all! My contribution to this fabulous online holiday partaaay, are these awesome vanilla mixed nuts with dried cranberries. These were inspired by a post race snack Val and I ate after running the Fit Foodie 5k in November.

I’ve made spicy chipotle mixed nuts before, but this vanilla version took it to a whole new level. They’re not entirely guilt free, but they definitely won’t be the MOST unhealthy offering at your holiday party. They also make great edible gifts, so if you’re looking to hand out some treats to your neighbors, I’ve got you covered.

You know the drill, be sure to click on over to see everyone else’s recipes too!
