Author Notes: This tiny book packs a big informational punch, especially for those who love to entertain but are short on time. Award winning caterer Emma Roberts (founder of Boston's Capers Catering) has put together a vibrant (dare I say, sassy?) collection of recipes for cocktail and appetizer pairings. Each pairing could be a casual cocktail party menu in and of itself or part of a larger party. The recipes for both food and drink are creative, tasty and, best of all, easy to prepare.
Ingredients: 1 cup cooking oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup butter, cut in pieces
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F.

On parchment paper lined baking sheet, mix oats and next 5 ingredients. Bake for 10 minutes until toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a heavy saucepan over medium high heat, combine brown sugar and next 5 ingredients, cooking until candy thermometer registers 290°F. Add butter, stirring well. Pour sugar mixture over nut mixture and mix well.

Coat additional parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray and place over nut mixture. Place a heavy baking sheet over parchment paper to flatten nut mixture. Return to oven and Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. When completely cool, break into pieces.
