Signature Select Chipotle Whole Almonds
What it is
These are whole almonds that have been roasted and seasoned with chipotle. Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapeños, which give them a smoky and slightly spicy flavor. The almonds themselves are a good source of healthy fats and have a satisfying crunch. This snack offers a combination of savory, smoky, and mild heat.
