Welcome to my newest feature, SnackTime With Jen. This midweek morsel is a small taste of something fun. Topics range from food (of course) to fashion, amusing little discoveries both locally and abroad, and a variety of interesting intel too tempting not to share. So let’s get snacking…
Have you visited a branch of Nuts Factory yet? It’s a weigh and pay concept store that has been popping up all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Boston, Pennsylvania, and in malls across New Jersey. These stores are bright, clean and showcase a staggering variety of raw nuts, dried fruit, chocolate goodies, candy, candied nuts, halva, and international delicacies all sold by the pound. From Zaatar cashews to candied pecans, and dried strawberries to sour gummies, Nuts Factory is a snack lover’s paradise. My favorite treat here is their Kabukim. These Israeli munchables are impossibly crunchy orbs made of premium-quality peanuts enrobed in a super light coating that’s both almost salty and slightly sweet. They are odd at first, but after one or two, you’ll be hooked for life!
So when you have the urge to merge with a handful of crunchy, salty, sweet or a delicious combination of all three, Nuts Factory is a guaranteed go-to for every kind of snack attack you’ll ever have. I’m therefore inscribing Nuts Factory into Jen’s Little Black Book. And let us all say, “Amen!”
