They're in the, oh... top five best nuts to mix with chocolate. So when I got a sample from Green Valley Pecan Co. I figured something chocolate had to be done. So I made those chocolate pecan cookies that I posted about yesterday. But how were they just by themselves? Well to test that I ate a handful. They were quite good. Were they significantly better than the kind I get at the store whose name I can't remember? Not really, but if their prices were the same I would pick the Green Valley ones. And not just because they sent me free samples. Heh.

How do you get these samples you write about? That's what I want to know!
ReplyDeleteThey look plump and moist and really look like A-1 pecans. Picture is great. What kind of camera did you end up getting?
ReplyDeleteThey sent me some samples too, I made my 1st ever pecan pie. Tasty.
ReplyDeleteThey do look so plump and pretty! They would make a gorgeous pie.

ReplyDeleteKaren: Thanks! I got a Canon A2100. I'm still figuring out it's quirks, but it takes nice pictures.
Vicki: I've never been a pecan pie fan, but I've been told I've never had good pecan pie. Maybe I should have made one with these...
girlichef: Again with the pie! Where were you guys when I was wondering what to do with these? :D
Danielle: Sweet and spicy pecans sounds awesome. I'm not going to comment again about the pie. ;)
