Who doesn't like a good nut? And I'm not talking about the 'crazy friend of a friend' kind that gives us all plenty to gossip about. I'm talking about a good, old fashioned, crunchy, delicious nut. Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds, etc. Gotta love 'em, right? Unless, of course, you're one of the unfortunates who's allergic. But I'm not, so let's keep going.
Recently I was sent a beautifully packaged box of Santé Nuts with 4 delicious varieties of nuts to sample and share my opinion of on my blog. Now, I'm a sucker for nice packaging, and this one was no exception. I loved the way I opened the neat display case to find each bag of nuts tucked away in it's own little nook. I also thought the colors of the bags were pretty. OK, ok, enough about the packaging... (sorry, got carried away there for a sec!) let's get on to what I thought of the nuts.
I was tempted to immediately open each bag and indulge in all 4 flavors. I didn't. In fact, one bag is still in-tact, as I have special plans for that one! The first one I tried, and my favorite thus far is the Candied Pecans. These were so deliciously sweet, without compromising any of the crunch or authentic Pecan flavor that I love so much. Oh, and did I mention that these were ENORMOUS and not a single one was broken? Genius, in my opinion. Perfect for a sweet treat at the end of the day, or basically anytime.
A few days later I tried the Garlic Almonds. I love the crunch of Almonds, and these are roasted and seasoned to make for a great snack. My husband had to get in on this one, as they had a good amount of kick to them. He polished off the bag in no time during a Sunday Afternoon Football Marathon. I could totally see myself sprinkling these over a salad with a cool cucumber ranch dressing. Course I didn't get to try this, since he polished off the bag. Guess I'll have to order some!
2 other flavors that were sent to me are the Candied Walnuts, which I were a hit as I served during a family gathering, and the Roasted Salted Pecans. Those are the ones I'm saving to use in my world-famous Sticky Buns that make their appearance but once a year on Christmas morning.

I'd like the candied walnuts, I'd use them on top of the salad I have for lunch every day.
