Christmas Treats

Christmas Savoury Snack – Nuts & Bolts

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife December 7, 2018December 13, 2018

My friend Kirsty recently shared her Nuts & Bolts recipe with me, and she’s let me share it with you too.  I thought the concept was interesting with the Nutri-Grain and cereals in it, that I just had to try it for myself. I was impressed with this savoury snack. It was totally delish!! You expect it to be sweet, and yet it has a savoury flavour to it. You may also expect to not really enjoy it, yet you can’t help it and keep going back for more. It’s really hard to explain just how good this recipe is unless you try it out for yourself and see what your taste buds think!

This Nuts and Bolts recipe is the Christmas savoury snack for when you need to 'bring a plate' this holiday season!

I took it to a party recently as my ‘bring a plate‘, and it was looked at with funny eyes, but everyone was eating away and it was sooo good and really easy to make too.

I did leave it in the oven a bit too long as I was making my white Christmas at the same time, so some of the Nutri-Grain pieces were a little crispy, but it still tasted so good.  Moral of that story is though, keep your eye on it as it won’t take long to roast up.

I enjoyed it so much that I’ve added it to my Christmas Menu this year and will have it available for my guests to nibble on throughout the day. Who would have thought that something so confusing on the brain when you see it, would turn out to be so yummy!!This Nuts and Bolts recipe is the Christmas savoury snack for when you need to 'bring a plate' this holiday season!

Katrina – did you use dried chickpeas or chickpeas from a tin? Thanks.
Looks good though. Plan on making it this weekend.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I used roasted chickpeas, then put them on the tray with everything else to roast again and they were fine 🙂
