Regular mixed nuts are fine if you enjoy bland, forgettable snacks. But why settle when you can coat them in a rich coffee glaze? These crunchy, caramelized beauties balance bold espresso, buttery sweetness, and a punch of salt. They’re dangerously addictive and guaranteed to disappear before you’re done “just tasting one.” Perfect for road trips, Netflix binges, or pretending you eat gourmet snacks daily. Warning: You might start judging plain nuts after this.
