I use walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans and peanuts. Those are my favorite nuts. Use what ever you like or just use one kind of nut.

Then let your imagination go wild. These are great as snacks by themselves, or add them to some prepared granola mix, or put them on top of ice cream, or use them as salad toppings. You are only limited by how fast you and your family eat them as to whether you will do anything creative with them. You may just have to keep making them batch after batch. They don't last long.

These also have the added bonus of being healthy for you. Lots of Omega 3s and monounsaturated (good) fats.

I tried and tried to use the recipe format, and it just wouldn't work, so I just put the recipe here.
