# Insider Tips:

01 -

It's genuinely easier than it looks, yet somehow impresses everyone in the room.
You can have it ready in fifteen minutes, which feels like cheating when people think you've fussed for hours.
It's the kind of thing that works for a casual weeknight snack or a fancy gathering, no apologies needed.

02 -

Don't toast nuts too far ahead—they're best served still warm, when their flavor is loudest.
Softened butter is non-negotiable; if it's even slightly cold, spreading becomes a frustrating battle instead of a pleasure.
Quality butter tastes like itself here, so this is the moment to splurge if you're going to.
