Coating should harden. Eat plain or on oatmeal, pudding or any other tasty treat.

The Perfect Fall Breakfast

To use with oatmeal, prepare your favorite oat variety tops with nuts and maple syrup. {The natural kind of syrup tastes best with the nuts!} I think these spiced nuts would also be amazing chopped and in cookies.  YUM! How can you use these this fall?

You have to try these!! I think they are the best nuts for oatmeal, especially in fall! You can also eat them by the handful for a great afternoon snack with a fall flavor.

I didn’t used to be a fan of nuts as a snack, but over the years I’ve grown to love them and now a handful of almonds is about my most favorite thing ever! With this fall flare, nuts are a great snack during this season.

Here are a few of my other fall favorites- They are all so good, I can’t even tell you which to try first, you will have to give them all a try!
