Christmas nibbles

There is a lot going on at Christmas - lots of people, guests dropping in...lots of drinks - so you’re gonna need a few bits and pieces on hand for everyone to munch on while they catch up. I remember my own childhood Christmases where Mum used to put salted nuts, whole nuts (with a nut cracker), cheese straws and other nibbles around the house to keep us all going. Serve a few of these recipes to your guests and they might stay a bit longer or visit more regularly. Of course, if that thought terrifies you, then leave these well alone.
