Nutty bolts – moreish, crunchy and spicy

Nutty Bolts are a winner to have on hand for the holidays. Moreish, crunchy and spicy they’re the perfect nibble to have with a glass of bubbles or a cold beer. Nutty Bolts were an ’80’s trend, but, as we know a good retro recipe never tires.

We love preparing ahead for the holidays and Nutty Bolts freeze extremely well in an airtight container. Simply remove the Nutty Bolts from the freezer and they’re  ready to serve.
