Homecoming Treats: Garlic Sticks, Danish Puff and Roasted Peanut

BY Nancy Janiola IN 17 comments

Mom went to a 2-day out of town convention and brought home some of these when they got a chance to shop on their way back.

These are not her usual preference for a "pasalubong" but she thought they’re all worth a try especially the roasted peanut which according to the store owner where she got it from is made by nuns. Look closely on the label, it obviously says it.

I especially munch on nuts when I need to stay up late to get some online tasks done. And it doesn’t only help me stay awake but it also help me in pinching a loaf the following day. Trust me I’m a living proof to that fact.

I’m not big on bread sticks but since it is garlic flavored, that I couldn’t resist. It’s like munching my favorite homemade garlic bread. :D

The Danish Puff is likewise good and hearty. I won’t mind pairing it with my morning coffee. The kids didn’t like it that much when mom opened a pack for everyone to try. The taste was not what they think it is. And that’s how I got this whole second pack, LOL! Knowing kids… the only pleasant to their taste buds are those sweet ones. But thanks to them! I got the whole pack instead. :D

Guess with all these I no longer have to worry for something to snack on at night for few days. The 450 gram bag of peanut itself is already a lot for my consumption.

Hahaha lucky you, peanut is my favorite snack and I drool seeing the photo. :P specially the sungsong type because it's crunchy.

That's a ton of a snack. I like peanuts but they don't like me. They give me break outs.
Looks like the Danish Puff is delicious.

i try to avoid nuts as much as possible. love ko pa naman cashew nuts. my skin tends to break out pag nasobrahan. plus i feel bloated after.

Delish goodies from your loving Mom Sis :-) I miss that when I still live in the Philippines, everytime my Mama will go to CEbu, she always bring pasalubong for us :-)

I love peanuts, too, Nance! These are perfect pasalubongs and perfect to snack on while staying up late doing tasks. I do that myself.. in fact last night I got so carried away I made soup, too! LOL!
