Answer 5

Besides all the good recipe ideas you got (and I agree with them), you can add them to brownies or lots of cookie recipes or Waldorf salad, etc.

If you're not going to use them all within a couple weeks, put them in the freezer and then get out the amount you need as you need them. The freezer keeps them fresh for years. I finally opened the last package my mother had in her freezer and she's been in a nursing home for 5 years and they're still like new.

Answer 6
