    These roasted nuts are lightly sweetened and seasoned with fresh rosemary, salt, and cayenne pepper to give them a sweet, salty, spicy kick.

    Sometimes I wonder what percentage of people in the US regularly follow football. It seems pretty high to me, at least here in Wisconsin.

    I have never been much of a sports fan myself, so I can't say that I'd call myself a football fan. However, I'll watch the occasional important game, especially if it's in a social setting.

    And, as many of us are aware (yes, even me - though I'd probably have to Google which teams are playing), there is a pretty big one coming up.

    Superbowl parties have become the norm for us in the almost 5 years since we've moved here, but never at our house (we only have one TV and it's in our cold, dark basement).

    Every year I bring some type of snacky thing. I've brought a football shaped cheeseball, and more than once, I've brought cookies.

    Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Roasted Nuts

    If you need to bring a snack or appetizer to a party, Superbowl, or otherwise, these Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Roasted Nuts are a perfect option.

    They're easy to transport, can be made ahead of time, and are the addictive combination of sweet, salty, and a little spicy.

    Just be warned that you may need to double, or even triple the recipe if you're sharing them with a lot of people, otherwise, they are sure to disappear very quickly!

    Of course, these delicious nuts aren't just good for sports games. They're rosemary flavor also makes them perfect for the holidays. But really, they're great anytime, party or not.
