You can read more about the benefits of eating almonds by clicking here.  With that said, almonds have not always been my go - to snack.   I have to admit that I used to eat almonds via Almond Joy's.  I love using almond extract in my baking, snack on chocolate covered almonds, and use almond flour in my baking.  Today, consumers have options and with so many articles, research, and recipes on the internet, we can make healthier choices to stay fit. 

Adding seasoning to your nuts adds another variation to this delightful snack.  Another fun use of almonds is adding it to popcorn.  Yes, popcorn!  Not only  do you get the healthy benefits of the nuts,  but now we can add drizzles of chocolate on both your popcorn and almonds.   Do not forget to ask about almonds when you visit us in the spring.
