Chocolate Covered Almonds
Roasted Unsalted Cashews
Almond Brittle
I feel bad about the almond brittle. You see, I’m not a big brittle fan, and Tom’s not a big almond fan. It was a substitution for what we really wanted, and while it was reasonable to assume we’d accept another sweet item, it just didn’t work out. We’re too picky. Tom was willing to say that the almond brittle “wasn’t bad,” and he finished the piece he’d taken. I took one small bite and didn’t want another. So I brought it down to my parents’ house, since my brother Joe and his family were up visiting for the weekend, and there were loads of people around to eat it. My brother Josh seemed to like it, and I think my grandma did, too. But there’s still at least half a pound left, so it’s just not as awesome as the chocolate covered almonds and the cashews. I guess there was bound to be a winner and a loser in this one.
Wrapping It Up with a Trail Mix Recipe
I have to be honest. I’d told Oh! Nuts that I wanted to use our sample nuts for my husband to make his custom homemade trail mix, but that didn’t work out. I finished the chocolate covered almonds before he had a chance, and we decided to keep the cashews pure and unadulterated. But so that I don’t completely disappoint, here are the ingredients that Tom uses in his homemade trail mix:
- Salted peanuts
- Unsalted cashews
- Raisins
- Craisins
- Dried pineapple
- Banana Chips
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- White chocolate chips
If I ate trail mix, I’d replace the white chocolate chips with chocolate covered almonds, but maybe that’s just me!
