I want to talk about nuts today.
The kind you want in your mouth.
Often.
The kind of nuts you can’t help but blindly grab over and over again with the full intention of tossing them down your throat.
On the regular.
The kind of nuts which make afternoon snacking a source of delight.
On a daily basis.
The kind of nuts you want to keep on hand for entertaining.
All sorts.
The kind of nuts which are completely addicting.
In a great way.
The kind of nuts with a hint of sweetness.
Without smacking you in the face.
The kind of nuts roasted to perfection.
Without burning your tongue.
The kind of nuts which leaves you satiated and satisfied.
And with a smile on your face.
You want ♫ Deeez Nuuuts. ♫

What’s your favorite seasoning and way to roast nuts?
Wouldn’t want too-sweet nuts smacking me in the face! These do look like the perfect nuts! Genius!

Yep, unless they’re done just right, nuts in your face can be a trying experience.

Who doesn’t love a good nut? That’s a rhetorical question by the way.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
Seriously lol-ing at this post, Meg…love me some nuts, especially when they all toasty! I love ’em covered in chocolate & topped with a dash of salt but these sound pretty up my street too! Happy Friday, love!

Chocolate salty nuts are equally as delightful.

The first three lines already had me cracking up. You are pure brilliance my friend.
These just make me think of Christmas and pure joy…

Pure brilliance Wow. Now that’s one hell of a compliment. I’ll take it! Thank you.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
I want nuts in my throat often. Deezzz nuts look mighty good. I’d probably want a dash of salt with them too because I really like getting wild with nuts.
Brittany recently posted…The Birthplace of Coffee – Ethiopia Tasting
Salty nuts are the best kind of nuts. Next to these of course (shameless self-promotion).
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
Ahh Meghan why do you do this to me!? Now I want to eat my iPad! dang these look good!
Trade you some raw choc mulberries for some of your nuts????
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape recently posted…Thinking Out Loud!
Deal. I’ll give you my nuts in exchange for berries.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
Just by reading the title, I am going nuts over these. I remember one time when my friend handed me ha handful of candied almonds and I widened my eye on her jsut because she just gave those – I needed more. Glad that you shared a recipe for this. 😀 Thanks for coming and come back next week. Happy FF. 🙂

You’ll love these then. They are slightly sweet, without being overpowering and healthy to boot.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
My family loves candied nuts and they appear regularly around the holidays. But why wait for a special occasion? I need a good almond recipe as most of the recipes I have are using cashews, walnuts or pecans. Thanks for bringing these to Fiesta Friday 🙂

I need a good walnut recipe. Perhaps you have one I can try…?

If you enjoy herbs try my Lavender and Rosemary Scented Walnuts or Candied Walnuts for Salads 🙂

I love any kind of candied nut. Thanks for recommending more. 🙂
So glad to hear your nuts won’t burn my tongue. It’s all fun and games until you have mouth sores.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted…Ghetto Fabulous French Toast [Recipe]
Mouth sores are bad. Very bad. I don’t like those kind of nuts at all.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
I like my nuts hot and spicy.
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed recently posted…My Beautiful Mind.
I’m not even a little bit surprised. Quite frankly, I expected as much.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
But what if I want nuts smacking me in the face?…. 😆 😆 Sorry, I couldn’t resist 😉 I also probably wouldn’t be able to resist these nuts. You know I’m all about the sweetness, and these are right up my alley <3
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. strawberry coconut overnight oat parfait .
Yep, and these are Spoons approved, meaning you can eat them. No pesky peanuts here.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
Oh wow, these are one of my favorite winter treats!! I love that you used raw sugar… YUM!!!
Amanda recently posted…Cupcakes for a crowd
The raw sugar crystals are so much larger than fine sugar so it adds an extra bite.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
I always want nuts in my mouth.
Well, just almonds really. Otherwise I’d die. But you know what I mean. These look delicious! My favourite way to make roasted almonds is covered in chocolate. Does chocolate count as a seasoning? 😛
Chelsea @ Chelsea’s Healthy Kitchen recently posted…My favourite everyday banana oatmeal
No dying on my watch. These are Amanda and Chelsea approved and edible.
Chocolate always counts.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
i love deez nutz!!!! and any nuts that don’t smack me in the face are a bonus. me hitting myself in the face when i miss my mouth don’t count, right? bring on the nuts! i’m diggin this, and might have to try this with some pecans and walnuts as well since i just bought those and they are quite naked.
happy friday my dear!
You can’t be running around with naked nuts. That’s practically indecent. You better get roasting. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
Are there ANY nuts one doesn’t want immediately in their mouths???
I thought not.
Heh.
Shannyn recently posted…Working From Home
I’m in full agreement. Heh.
Meghan recently posted…Thinking Out Loud and All Over the Place
I TRIED THESE AND WANT SOME NOW.
I didn’t know you used raw sugar- No wonder they had a slight molasses taste!
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies
