Nuts Online Review and Giveaway!

 

                            

About NutsOnline~

In 1929, on the brink of the Depression, our father and grandfather “Poppy” Sol took a bold step. 22 years old, he had already worked fulltime for 10 years to support his family. Yet he was ambitious, and wanted to live the American Dream and make the lives of everyone around him better. So, donning his best of suits and an assured smile on his face, So l walked away from the bank with a loan to start his own business, the Newark Nut Company. The rest is history.

 

NutsOnline has a huge assortment of nuts, dried fruits and candies! Here are a few that I found~

 

Dried Apricots

These would be great added to holiday baking!

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Milk chocolate covered pretzels are an amazing snack. Put these out at your party and be prepared to refill the bowl!

 

Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds

Perfectly toasted supreme size almonds, gently covered in delicious and smooth dark chocolate.

Do I have your mouth watering yet? I was excited to try the beautiful bag of Pecans I was sent to review.

Georgia Pecans (Raw, No Shell)

I decided the best way to try these wonderful looking pecans was to bake them up into something wonderful! I decided to try them in a pecan pie. These pecans were really gorgeous! They were big unbroken nuts and they baked into a wonderful pie!

Chocolate Rum Pecan Pie
1 – 9″ prepared pie crust~unbaked*

3  eggs

3/4 cup  corn syrup

4 tablespoons butter, melted

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons rum extract

2 tablespoons  flour

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 1/4 cup pecan, chopped

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Heat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large bowl whisk together eggs, corn syrup, butter, light brown sugar, bourbon, flour and vanilla until well combined.

Into the prepared pie crust mix the chopped pecans and the chocolate chips. Pour the filling mixture over the top.

Bake pie on the bottom rack at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 45 minutes.

Let pie cool for 1 hour before serving.

*Buttermilk Pie Crust

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon oil

Whisk the salt and the flour in a bowl. Cut in the shortening and butter until it looks like peas. Pour in the oil and buttermilk and mix with a spoon until it comes together. Divide into 3 balls and roll each out to make a single pie crust.

 I think Nuts Online has very high quality products and are great to add to all my holiday baking!
