Make sure the nuts are completely cool before wrapping. If they aren't completely cooled, condensation can form on the inside of the container and cause the coating on the nuts to soften. Here are some great ideas for gift wrapping nuts: * Use a Mason jar, tie a pretty ribbon or bow around it, and cover the lid with gift wrap or holiday fabric. * Use cellophane bags with holiday print on them. Tie them closed with ribbon. * Fill small holiday goodie boxes or tins with the nuts. Seal the nuts in a zipper baggie for better quality and shelf life. The key is really to make sure the nuts are in an airtight environment, especially if it will be a few days before you give them away. Humidity in the air can make the coating soft.
