\"Almond<\/a>

Almond Cranberry Vanilla Clusters <\/p><\/div>\n

Let me introduce you to my new crack.\u00a0 Daily Eats<\/a> readers have seen these bad boys pop up every now and again and know full well that I love them and am addicted to them.<\/p>\n

I’ve spied the True North items here and there in the grocery store but in all honesty the flavors listed didn’t really appeal to me so I passed them all up.\u00a0 However one fateful trip to Sam’s and I saw this ginormous bag of Almond Cranberry Vanilla Clusters (say that five times fast!), now that flavor appealed to me!<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long after we got back home that I tore open the bag and dove in.\u00a0 As soon as the bag was open I was hit by the smell.\u00a0 It was a very sweet enticing scent.\u00a0 Not something that came across as fake or processed.\u00a0 We’ve all smelled fake vanilla and it doesn’t smell pretty.\u00a0 I was very pleased by the size of the little square clusters, perfect for quick snacking and easy to portion out.\u00a0 I ate one and was in heaven.\u00a0 It was so good!\u00a0 And then I proceeded to eat a bunch more because I couldn’t stop.<\/p>\n

I allowed myself that day of indulgence and vowed from then on to practice moderation.\u00a0 I will tell you right now it’s hard because these babies are so damn delicious.\u00a0 Checking the True North website, I can’t find mention of this product.\u00a0 Should this make me nervous?\u00a0 Perhaps it really is<\/em> crack?!<\/p>\n

\"cluster<\/a>

cluster of delicious <\/p><\/div>\n

My guess is this is some sort of limited edition item which I don’t understand because it’s amazing.\u00a0 Like mentioned previously, I found this bag at Sam’s.\u00a0 If you’re a member, or perhaps a member of another warehouse store, check around to see if you can locate some.\u00a0 Or heck, maybe even just email them and ask because this stuff is seriously that good.<\/p>\n

The texture of the little clusters, which are actually more squares like, remind me a lot of brittle only not as hard and tooth cracking.\u00a0 Just enough umph to hold the clusters together but easy enough to chew and enjoy.\u00a0 These would be perfect to put out for snacking during a holiday party or cookie exchange.\u00a0 Or even a gift wrapping party!<\/p>\n

Because of their size they are easy to portion out and they are easy to tote around if you were looking to keep some at work or in your bag for a quick snack if needed.<\/p>\n

I think I might even have to go back and snag a couple more bags just in case they do go away.\u00a0 At which point, I’m sure I will cry and start carrying around a clipped piece of the bag in my purse.\u00a0 Oh okay, I probably won’t cry.<\/p>\n

I fully recommend seeing if you can find some and snacking to your heart’s content!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
