Where is the recipe for the candied nuts with the cinnamon sprinkle?

For the prep bowls, I filled with bath salts, put on the lid and tied a small bamboo spoon to it with pretty ribbon. People LOVED these for teacher gifts because they can make 6 with one purchase.

I have some recipes for the batter bowl mixes. When I get a moment in a few days, I will post them. One is for potato soup mix that my grandma requests as a Christmas gift every year. It takes 1/2 c. of the mix to make a bowl of soup, so, I'm thinking load up the prep bowls with this and the directions. Sorry I don't have time to type that one up right now and won't for a couple of days, but I will try to get to it soon.
 
Ok, I lied. I typed it up because now I want to do that for a few people.
Potato Soup Mix
2 ½ c. instant mashed potatoes (Hungry Jack is good)
1 ¼ c. powdered coffee creamer
1 packet McCormick chicken gravy mix
2 tsp. salt-free Spike seasoning (Look hard for Spike. If you can’t find it use salt-free Mrs. Dash or Lawry’s salt-free seasoning.)
2 tsp. dried minced onion
2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
½ tsp. pepper

1. Place ingredients in large bowl and toss, shake and stir to mix well.
2. Place in a suitable mix container (a.k.a. Small Batter Bowls). Can make individual servings by placing ½ c. potato soup mix in separate containers. Be careful when dividing this mix to get all the ingredients into each container – the spices tend to settle to the bottom of bowl.
Makes 4 c. mix

Can make Potato Cheese Soup Mix by adding 1 packet Knorr Pasta Sauce – Four Cheese Flavor

To make Potato Soup
1. Place ½ c. potato soup mix into a mug or bowl.
2. Add 1 c. boiling water. Stir well.
3. Let stand 3 minutes until thickened.


By the way, the book I use is called "Mix It Up!" by Jackie Gannaway.
 
And, there are dip recipes in here. I'd be happy to typ one up if people want them. The choices are Farmhouse Vegetable, Garden Dill, Garlic Onion, Lemon Sugarplum Fruit, Mexican Fiesta, Parmesan Herb and Spicy Cajun.

That sounds so good! I think I need to make this for myself... then I can bring it to work and just use our water cooler to make a quick lunch. I love how few ingredients are in it!
 
be sure to take these to shows...the cowboy chili is yummy. I took 3 to each show last year...cowboy chili, cookie, and a bread. I made the cowboy chili as the demo recipe and sold a ton of batterbowls. I did not sell them already made, just the idea. I also took a prep bowl with cake ingredients and sold several sets of them. They are great "cheap" gifts for teachers. And, its something they can use again...not just candy or lotion that will go away.

Go all the way down to the Fall/Winter 2003 "Celebrations" recipes - on the far-right, you'll see the Batter Bowl Brownie Mix and the Celebration Cookie Mix, with perfect little tags you can print out.

I'd say $10 - 15 is a fair price for these made up to sell.
