They look green. Are they candy coated pecans or something like that?
They do don’t they?!
It’s apparently ‘Blond’ which IRL is a dark caramel colour chocolate.

I made the mistake of looking at the calories in something similar that my OH brought home from work before Christmas and couldn't believe how many calories were in 1 serving and how many servings were apparently in a bag (5). That made a serving 3 chocolate covered almonds and 110 calories per serving!The weird shaped coffee coloured things are the pecans, they were very nice!
Honestly it’s not something that concerns me, I don’t calorie count.I made the mistake of looking at the calories in something similar that my OH brought home from work before Christmas and couldn't believe how many calories were in 1 serving and how many servings were apparently in a bag (5).

100g of those is over a quarter of the RDA for a woman.
I'm back on calorie counting on Monday along with the 4 times a weekday exercise not counting getting the post (1km walk just for that). I need my back to settle again and get a little weight offHonestly it’s not something that concerns me, I don’t calorie count.
As nutrition was a huge part of patient education for so many patients I’m painfully aware of what the nutritional content n likely ingredients are in most foods. I have a suspicion you do too!
So I knew before I even bought them that a bag of pecans covered in chocolate isn’t a healthy choice, that they would be very high in fat, saturated fat and sugar.
But I allow myself unhealthy treats when I fancy them, tbh I’m surprised that the whole bag is only 595kcals
I’ll defo be buying them again, although it’ll probably be the dark chocolate coated almonds next time
You gotta do whatever works for you to stay in optimal heath, I applaud you for it, wish everyone cared about themselves a little bit more.I'm back on calorie counting on Monday along with the 4 times a weekday exercise not counting getting the post (1km walk just for that).

Hope the pickled mushrooms are going to make it into the current recipe challenge (and the pickled raspberries you mentioned elsewhere).Freshly picked homegrown oyster mushrooms wit
