Mother's Day Extravaganza! Illinois Nut & Candy Review & Giveaway

I love nuts. They are the perfect anytime snack. They aren't as fattening as junk food in between meals. They are a healthier alternative to things like potato chips. And they are also make a great gifts that almost anyone will enjoy. If the same company also offers a wide variety of dried fruits and delicious chocolate, its even better.  If you are a nut lover like my family, than you will definitely love the great selection of quality nuts and treats available at Illinois Nut & Candy.

For our review, we decided on the pistachios. The nuts are roasted to perfection with just the right amount of salt. The shells were easy to break up and not one in the whole bag couldn't be opened. I don't think I've ever had that happen with pistachios. They are really some of the best nuts I've tried to date. You definitely won't be able to eat just one.  A pound of these gourmet pistachios is available for only $9.98.You can also find walnuts, almonds, cashews and more. Get them salted, raw, or chocolate covered.

In addition to their nuts, Illinois Nut & Candy also have an amazing selection of fine gourmet chocolates. Any mom would be thrilled to get a box of their truffles this mother's day. They also have candy apples, popcorn, English toffee, and even gourmet dog treats. If you are planning a big event, check out their party plates. If you are thinking about getting a gift for that special woman in your life, now would be the perfect time. New Age Mama readers are being offered an exclusive discount.
