We're the kind of people who have to eat every three hours, and Pure Leaf Iced Tea is here to help with that.
Today: Go nuts for nuts—and this sweet and spicy mix.
A nut haiku:
butter, cookies, cake
we are nutso about you
also in haikus
It's true, we're nuts about nuts. Sometimes, spoonfuls of nut butter eaten straight from the jar will suffice. But other times—perhaps when we're feeling a little more ambitious and/or civilized—a sandwich with rosemary-chocolate bread, seedy crackers, or a banana cake is just the snack we need. And if we're feeling like mixing things up—which we generally are—this sweet and spicy nut mix is one of the best things an oven can bake. Here are 17 absolutely nutty snacks (including a recipe).
