Mhmm. I believe they do. All kinds of nuts too. Fresh nuts! Stale nuts! Crunchy nuts! Salty nuts! Sweet nuts! Mixed nuts! For goodness sakes, you can even get your nuts cracked!.....or at least so I've been told. :D

We have something similiar. It has a red candy coating and is sweet. It's called Boston Baked Beans. (Although it's not a bean)

Oddly enough, that sounds like boston baked beans to me...Nuts with dark reddish-brown candy coating like you described


EDIT: AHHHH!...Leprucky just beat me to it :p

[urgeok2]

yeah - they definately dont call them that up here .. just beernuts ..

i must have had the salty kind before too though .. salty with sugar mixed in ?

So are you a big nut fan?

I am...but like I said Honey roasted are my favs.

I have seen those, but they don't really have them around here much - and I think I've seen some packaged refer to them as "boston baked beans" too - is this what the chief and Frank were eating in the car in The Naked Gun?

Here, what we call a beer-nut is just a salted peanut with the red "skin" left on...they're other than that, the same.
