Going Nuts

Best wedding favor = donation to charity. Second to that, something I can eat.

With fall weddings just ’round the corner, this DIY edible favor idea is quite timely. Ever walk down the street in Manhattan or through a mall in suburbia and get a good wiff from the roasted nut stand? Yum.

So first things first. You will need to buy an assortment of your preferred nuts in bulk.

Then you need a recipe – Martha’s recipe, honey roasted, sesame five spice, cinnamon, or even sesame and honey snack mix.

Now you need to package these bad boys up. Glassine coated envelopes would be my first choice. You could keep it fully DIY and make your own pyramid favor boxes or petal cones. Burlap bags are pretty fall-esque. These are nice and simple.

Add a tag with your names and wedding date. Maybe include a cute little verse…

“nuts about eachother!”
