Sahale Snacks Southwest Cashews with chili & cheddar

So the other day while out with a friend, we stopped by Starbucks to get a coffee for our favorite sushi chef in the world.  While in line, I looked down at some snacks and some cashews caught my eye.  (Aside from macadamias, cashews are my favorite nut!)  So along with coffee, nuts were purchased and away we went.

That was Saturday.

Before heading to a friend's house tonight to watch some True Blood, I snacked on the aforementioned package of nuts, and let me say they were YUMTASTICLE!

The nuts come from the Sahale Snacks group.  I've had their stuff before once or twice, but these cashews really impressed.  When I saw that they were cashews, I was immediately interested, but then I saw that they were cashews with chili and cheddar.  After that, I was truly sold.

The bag screams "all-natural" and "no trans fat", but in all honesty, I didn't care.  It wasn't until later that I saw these things - inlcuding the words "snack better" which I admit is a good idea.  I love most things that are fried, starchy or have to do with pork.  If there was a way I could have all those things in a better, healthier way without giving up the flavor, I would be SO on that like white on rice.

The tiny 1 oz bag of goodness is 140 calories.  A serving size is the whole bag (which is good since I ate the whole bag).

Warnings on the back state (for allergy purposes) that the product contains cashews, milk and soy.  It also warns that the snack was made in a facility that processes peanuts and therefore may contain traces of said peanuts and/or the occasional traces of nut shells.

Now I'm sure that the crafty person can get in touch with their inner Martha Stewart and make something like this themselves, but for those of us who wish to admire the work and talent of others (or are just plain lazy) can go buy some of these lovely yummies and snack away.

This treat makes me think of party snack food as well as something to munch on while watching movies. 

I wonder if they come in a larger bag...?

Would I ever try this again? Of course... or did my drool while talking about the snack confuse you?
