These are inspired by Nigella’s excellent Union Square Café bar nuts (which were, in turn, inspired by bar snacks she ate in New York) from Nigella Bites. I make random variations of them so often that I’ve stopped looking up a recipe, but I wrote this down so you can recreate them. They’re incredible to serve with drinks (even nicer warm) when friends come round, or indeed just to keep in a jar on the counter for walk-through snacking.
