Nuts.comGourmet Snack Mix – Gift Basket Assortment for Father's Day, Memorial Day, Birthday and Holidays – 14 Item Care Package Includes a Variety of Nuts, Dried Fruits, Popcorn and Candy

This is literally the happiest, most delicious nut-centered gift basket ever! I ordered it for my family as a treat to serve alongside a charcuterie dinner one evening. We were astounded by the bounty in this cool rectangular woven basket. It has paper shreds underneath the goodies, which include: Soom Chocolate Tahini in a jar; Baby Gummy Bears; Dark Chocolate Cocoa Dusted Almonds; dried apricots; "Ice Cream Maltballs" with four flavors; Asiago & Cheddar Cheese Crisps; Dark Chocolate Gummy Bears; Jumbo Medjool Dates; crispy Sesame Sticks; Roasted Cashews; Hunkey Dorey Popcorn Mix; Roasted Salted Pistachios; Sea Salt Caramels; chocolate-covered espresso beans.Everything has been so delicious and of the highest quality. I'm not normally drawn to caramels but the Sea Salt Caramels (which are actually chocolate-covered) really do melt in your mouth. The nuts are incredibly fresh and flavorful. The chocolate tahini needs to be stirred up (kind of like nut butters require) but once you do that, you're left with a liquidy chocolate that definitely has a nut kick to it (the sesame). The directions recommend that you drizzle it over things (there are drawings of fruit on the label) or dip them into the tahini. We sliced fresh bananas for the tahini drizzling and the combination was PERFECT.There is so much in this gift basket that, unless you serve it at a party, you won't go through it quickly. We added it to our charcuterie dinner one night and, while it was a lovely accompaniment to the charcuterie, the basket's contents were so plentiful that we still have goodies to enjoy. That's actually wonderful for us as we have these delicious and delightful snacks, nuts, and fruits to dip into.This gift basket would be a lovely gift for someone you love--or for yourself. We loved every single bite.

There's a lot in this box - something for everyone. I did find the selection a bit short on nuts, given the brand. But it was still pretty good. Everything was presented nicely in an attractive basket filled with curly paper filler. Here's my thoughts on most of the items:* Sea salt caramels - These were very nice, though being something of a chocolate snob, I did find the chocolate itself a little unimpressive... If you like most mainstream American chocolate brands, you'll be okay with this.* Cashews - Nice large jumbo cashews, roasted nicely. I didn't find them any worse or better than most other similar brands, but at least it wasn't a bag of broken pieces.* Cheddar asiago chips - These were almost bland and needed salt. There's a hint of heat to them (likely cayenne), but they aren't by any means hot. I didn't hate them, but they weren't anything exciting either.* Dates - Big super-sweet and flavorful. I've never had whole dates before, so I can't compare, but I really liked these. A bit like a prune if prunes were candy. They do have pits, which isn't a problem, but I wasn't expecting them.* Cocoa dusted almonds - I was surprised to findn these almonds are coated in chocolate before being dusted in cocoa. The result is a flash of bitter chocolate followed by the sweetness of the chocolate and the richness of almonds. I honestly wasn't crazy about them, but they're pretty good nonethelesss.* Caramel popcorn - Really nice flavor on this. Buttery and sweet. There are supposed to be nuts as well. There was literally one nut in the entire bag.* Dried apricots - If you've had dried apricots before, you know what these taste like. They might be slightly larger than most, but that's about the only thing that stands out.* Sesame sticks - I'm torn on these. They have a good flavor, but there's apparently quite a lot of salt in them. Not ON them, but IN them. I like them okay, but they leave me pretty thirsty.* Chocolate covered gummy bears - This is just one of those things I don't think you should put chocolate on. The flavor is... okay. The texture is weird. I wasn't a fan. And for some reason they made my stomach hurt.* Gummy bears - These were better than their chocolate covered companions. Flavor isn't the best I've found, but they're good enough. I do like how small they are.* Ice cream malt balls - Super sweet and really nice flavor. Again, not high-quality chocolate, but there's plenty of it. These are a bit of a slight step above a common candy brand that rhymes with Toppers.* Chocolate covered espresso beans - I hate coffee. But in the name of completeness, I tried these. They're gross. But I hate coffee, so I had my wife try them (she's a bit of a coffee snob). She said they're not bad -- "a bit like eating coffee coated coffee grounds". So... take that with a grain of salt. If you like espresso beans, maybe you'll have a different opinion.* Pistachios - I love pistachios, and these are very nice. All were large nuts, and I was impressed to find that there were very few (if any) shells that weren't fully open. I would have liked just a touch more salt.

This gift basket was completely filled with goodies and every single one of them was delicious. It had such a fantastic balance of sweet and salty.It included caramel popcorn, chocolate tahini, pistachios, malted ice cream balls, regular and chocolate coated gummy bears, cocoa almonds, cashews, dates, dried fruit, and more.All of it was flawlessly delicious. The dark chocolate gummy bears were genuinely surprising, it seemed like a strange combination but they actually tasted surprisingly great. The regular mini gummy bear were more flavorable than any store brand I've had. Both the pistachios and cashews were top tier. The apricots were dried just enough to still have some juicy sweetness to them, and the snack crackers were a great filler snack. Hands down my favorite was the malted ice cream balls. It was an unusual but absolutely delicious candy and I think I'll order an entire bag for myself if they sell those individually.My only complaint about the entire thing is that the basket it came in is made of awful, ugly plastic tape. I would hope for the price they consider switching to something a bit more environmentally friendly and reusable.

My family are snackers and this nuts.com basket includes something for all of us. My hubby loves cashews and pistachios, I love chocolate covered almonds, my 16 year old loves the caramels and popcorn and my 8 year loves all things gummy bears. This snack basket has an assortment with something to please everyone. This snack basket arrives beautifully packaged and ready to gift.The chocolates are very good and satisfy that sweet craving. The chocolate covered gummy bears are oddly great, I thought that they would be disgusting. The cheese crisps are surprisingly addictive. I had to hide the bag before I ate all of them. My husband and son quickly ate the cashews and pistachios. I hoarded the chocolate dusted almonds for myself and ate them in privacy lol.The only downside that I can see to this basket is that it is a little pricey. With that said I won’t take away any stars because everything in it is very tasty and it is a perfect ready to give gift.
