I don’t like nuts, or atleast that is what I thought. I enjoy peanuts but otherwise I pass by the nuts. Even in recipe I always omit them unless I think they are vital in the recipe. A few weeks back I went to my moms house to bake some cookies and she had these in the oven. I quickly turned my nose up, cause I don’t like them.
She said but you haven’t had these. Sure enough I loved them and bought another bag so that she could make more for me… Yea I know I COULD make them but what fun would that be, funner for her to do it and me enjoy the benefit.

I love sugared nuts. They’re even more delicious when they’re warm.
