I consider myself to be an outspoken advocate for spicy, crunchy snacks of all varieties. Hot Cheetos? My jam. Flamin' Hot Doritos? Right up my alley. These new Sriracha Almonds from Sam's Club? Not a want, but a need.
Let's break this down. Almonds are arguably one of the easiest snacks out there. When you want something quick and filling, a handful of almonds does the trick. They're good enough plain, but they are also a blank canvas for so many different flavors. You can honey-roast them or add some salt and vinegar (or whatever you're into), which is what makes these Sriracha ones such a game-changer.
Sriracha sauce isn't just a hot sauce that focuses entirely on being spicy. There are hints of garlic and vinegar that go with the chili flavor to really make it savory and spicy. According to the almond bag, Sriracha sauce is a spice level between bell peppers and habanero peppers.

These almonds from Sam's Club are made with the famous Huy Fong brand of Sriracha too, so they're the real deal. Each bag is about one-and-a-half pounds and costs $10.98 so you'll get your money's worth and have enough to snack on for a while. The bags are resealable too so freshness can be maintained between snacking.
Sriracha almonds can be eaten as if by the handful, but can also be mixed into trail mix for even more versatility. The spice of these counter balanced with the sweetness of dried fruit—what's not to love?
