Vegan Panforte Special Christmas

I’m a fairly experienced cook/baker (stressing fairly), but I’m not familiar with one listed ingredient! Please ... what “mixed spice” do you use? Or is there something called by this name in grocery stores? This looks and sounds awesome! Thanks very much for posting all these G/F recipes!

• 4 tbsp cacao powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground mixed spice

• 310 g / 2 1/2 cups mixed roasted nuts, chopped and skins removed (I used hazelnuts, almonds and macadamias)
• 280 g / 1 1/2 cups mixed dried fruit
• 90 g / 1/2 cup mixed citrus peel
• 100 g / 1 cup plain flour, (or gluten-free plain flour)
