Give Dad a Nutty Snack to Nibble

As our name may convey, here at NutsOnline we’re just nuts about…you guessed it…nuts! We love all kinds, and when snack time rolls around sometimes we have a difficult decision on our hands. Should we go for tender pecans, crisp macadamias or rich cashews?

Luckily, we don’t have to make the choice. Our supreme roasted mixed nuts contain all of these selections, plus Brazil nuts, almonds, filberts and pistachios. The freshly roasted combination of nuts is lightly salted, perfect for munching as a snack, serving at a party or using in recipes.

As much as we like to gobble down this treat ourselves, we also love to give it as a gift. Father’s Day is coming up soon, and if you’re stumped as to what to send to good old Dad, this may be your answer. Supreme roasted mixed nuts are decadent enough for even the most seasoned snacker, and surely your father will enjoy munching them himself (and sharing them with you, if you’re lucky!)

If you’d like to offer something with a homemade touch, you can dress up our mixed nuts to make a spicy snack that your father might just love. Melt 3 to 4 tbsp. of butter in a wide, shallow skillet. Add 1 lb. of mixed nuts and ¼ tsp. of Worcestershire sauce to the skillet and sauté the mixture for about five minutes, until the nuts are hot and coated with the butter and Worcestershire sauce.

In a small bowl, mix a pinch each of paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder and ground cumin to make a total of about 1 tsp. of seasoning. Transfer the nuts from the skillet to a clean kitchen towel to cool slightly and drain, then place them in a container with a tight lid. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the top of the nuts, place the lid on the bowl and shake to coat. Before giving them to Dad, pour the nuts into a decorative tin. If he’s anything like us, he’ll go nuts for ‘em!
