I just attended my first cookie swap of the season over the weekend. I just love the idea of getting into the holiday spirit surrounded by friends and our favorite baked goods (I will be sharing my cookie recipes later in the week). Once I have baked up all of my cookies I like to include other homemade treats like candy and no-bakes on my cookie trays. When planning my cookie trays I like to look check out the recipe pages on Walmart.com Cooking up Good hub for inspiration. They have recipes, sweepstakes, loyalty programs, coupons and more!
One of my favorite holiday ingredients are the Planter’s seasonal nuts and their wide variety of holiday products. Planter’s seasonal nuts include: Holiday Nut Crunch, Cocoa Almonds, Brittle Nut Medley, Winter Spiced Mix and a Holiday Collection Tin which all can be found at your closest neighborhood Walmart.
We will be spending a lot of time visiting friends for holiday dinners and get togethers over the next couple of weeks. My Brittle Nut Medley Crispy Treats are a great no-fuss dessert for bring along. I may also opt to bring a few canisters of the nuts to my hostesses as a small holiday gesture. The canisters are decorative enough so all I’ll need are a bow and a gift tag.
To make the Brittle Nut Medley Crispy Treats you need just a handful of ingredients and about an hour of your time. To begin, you will need to melt the white chocolate candy melt and peanut butter and add it to crispy rice cereal and the Brittle Nut Medley.
After the ingredients are mixed, spread the mixture to about 1/4 inch thickness on a large wax paper or parchment-lined cookie sheet and top with additional Brittle Nut Medley.
Allow the treats to harden before cutting with a serrated knife into bite-sized squares.

Notes
If you are a fan of white chocolate, peanut butter, nuts and crispy rice cereal you will absolutely love this dessert. It tastes just like candy but has a nice surprise of pretzels, yogurt raisins and nut brittle. I decorated my Brittle Nut Medley Crispy Treats with little Christmas flag picks to give it a holiday feel but you could easily add colored sprinkles in red or green to make this look even more festive.

I love how you cut these into squares, perfect for snacking and serving at an event! I’d have a hard time not just eating the nuts straight from the can though, I don’t do well waiting! #client
I agree Jenna! I had a super hard time not eating them from the can. So yummy!
