If you need a new make-ahead salty cocktail snack, this is it. It's salty and sweet and crunchy and bursting with flavor. It's completely addictive and totally delicious.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup nuts (I like spicy smokehouse almonds)
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 lb bacon
Directions:
Blend first six ingredients in a food processor. Add maple syrup until it's almost in a sandy paste. Season to taste with more sugar or chipotle as you like.
