When you open a bag of Sugar Bob’s maple-glazed nuts, the flavor hits fast. Whether it’s the smoky-sweet crunch of Maple Spiced Pecans or the bold heat of Maple Sriracha Cashews, these snacks are a little addictive. But they aren’t just for snacking straight from the bag. With their layered flavor and craveable texture, Sugar Bob’s nuts bring something special to everything from party spreads to Tuesday night dinners.
Here are some of our favorite ways to use them every day:
1. Make Your Cheese Board Stand Out
Hosting friends or curating your solo snack plate? Add Maple Spiced Pecans to a spread with Brie, aged cheddar, and sliced pears. Their smoky maple sweetness pairs beautifully with creamy and sharp cheeses alike. For even more flavor, toast the pecans in a dry pan for 30 seconds to wake up the spice and maple. Don’t forget a drizzle of honey or a spoonful of jam to round it all out.
2. Add Bold Crunch to Your Salad
Salads thrive on contrast. Toss Maple Sriracha Cashews into a salad with mixed greens, goat cheese, dried cranberries, and balsamic vinaigrette. The sweet heat and crunch cut through soft textures and creamy dressings. Not into spice? Apple Pie Almonds or Maple Spiced Pecans add gentle warmth and a hint of sweetness without overpowering the greens.
3. Upgrade Your Breakfast
Start your day with texture and flavor. Sprinkle Apple Pie Almonds over oatmeal, yogurt, or pancakes for a cozy, spiced twist. Their slow-roasted crunch and maple spice feel like dessert for breakfast—but with whole ingredients you can feel good about. You can also fold crushed nuts into muffin or pancake batter for extra richness and bite.
4. Build a Better Trail Mix
Sugar Bob’s nuts turn DIY trail mix into a gourmet experience. Try Maple Sriracha Peanuts with dark chocolate chips, dried cherries, and roasted pumpkin seeds. It’s salty, sweet, spicy, and energizing—the perfect snack for road trips, hikes, or just your mid-afternoon desk craving.
5. Give Roasted Veggies Some Crunch
Warm vegetable dishes love a little texture. Toss crushed Maple Spiced Pecans or Sriracha Peanuts over roasted squash, sweet potatoes, or glazed carrots just before serving. The result? A flavor and texture upgrade that makes even simple sides feel like a chef-level dish.
6. Add a Topping to Soups
Garnishing soup with nuts adds visual appeal and a welcome crunch. Add spicy peanuts to creamy tomato bisque or sprinkle Maple Spiced Pecans over butternut or pumpkin soup. It’s a small step with a big impact.
7. Fold into Baked Goods
Use chopped Maple Spiced Pecans or Apple Pie Almonds to bring nutty maple warmth to banana bread, cookie dough, muffins, and granola bars. Add them to the batter, press them on top before baking, or stir them into crumble toppings for pies and crisps.
8. Boost Classic Desserts
Think beyond sprinkles. Crush Apple Pie Almonds over a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a slice of warm apple crisp. Sprinkle them over maple-glazed donuts or layer into whipped cream parfaits. The extra crunch makes familiar favorites feel fresh.
9. Create a Sweet & Spicy Chicken Crust
For a quick and flavorful dinner, coat chicken tenders or thighs in crushed Maple Sriracha Cashews or Peanuts mixed with panko. Bake until golden brown and serve with roasted veggies or a tangy yogurt dip. The nuts create a craveable crust that caramelizes as it bakes.
Sugar Bob’s nuts are more than a snack. They’re your flavor sidekick—perfect for topping, crusting, baking, and garnishing. Whether you’re elevating your everyday meals or experimenting with something new, these maple-glazed bites are made for more than munching.
