A bowl of Rosemary Sugar & Spice Cashews makes the perfect holiday bar snack. The pedestal centerpiece features pomanders, or oranges studded with cloves. Amanda Smith Fowler made them extra special by carving a design into the surface and tying them with ribbon.
These sweet and savory roasted cashews are delicious, highly addictive and are always the first things to go when entertaining. They also make your house smell wonderful!
