I make these every year. They're a big hit at our annual Christmas Eve Party and at work's cookie/candy exchange!! I use the mixed nuts from Sam's Club and a bit extra cinnamon.

I used all pecans since walnuts are not my favorite nut. (I don't particularly care for the slightly bitter aftertaste that walnuts have.) I added a smidge more cinnamon than the recipe calls for since cinnamon is so good! These taste great and look pretty in a jar!
