Salted pistachios? Predictable. Sweet pistachios? Child’s play. But coffee-glazed pistachios? Now we’re talking. These little green gems get a bold, caramelized coffee makeover that turns them into the snack you never knew you needed. Crunchy, slightly sweet, and laced with a deep espresso kick, they’re dangerously addictive. Toss them on a salad, sprinkle them over yogurt, or just eat them by the handful like a rebel. They’re roasted to perfection, coated in a glossy coffee glaze, and packed with flavor. If you’re still eating plain nuts, it’s time to upgrade your snack game.
