I was lucky enough to stumble across Grandma Dee's Nuts last month in search of great granola and seasoned nuts to share with my readers. When I came across Grandma Dee's website, I knew I had to include them in a review. The folks over at Grandma Dee's were kind enough to send me samples to savor, so that I could write up this review. Tough job, huh? :-) And, hey are offering a sweet giveaway just for Inspired by Savannah readers -- scroll down below my review to enter.

I was sent the above products to sample, and boy did my husband and I love this review opportunity. Now, I have tried other granola recently, but Grandma Dee's hands down is my favorite thus far.
The Nutty Granola was chock full of toasted oats, lightly salted hazelnuts, pecans and almonds. There was just enough salty-sweet taste to leave you wanting more. I found myself continually reaching into the bag for just one more handful, until the bag was gone. :-(
After finishing off the Nutty Granola sample, my husband and I couldn't help but try out the Peanut Butter and Banana Granola sample that was sent my way. Inspired by the popular PB& J sandwich, this granola mix combines organic peanut butter, roasted, salted peanuts and tons of sweet, dried fruit. Now, don't tell me just reading that doesn't get your mouth watering. Again, we couldn't stop eating this addictive, tasty granola. And, best of all, we didn't feel guilty, as we knew it was healthy for us. Why reach for a bag of chips when you can dip into a bag of Grandma Dee's granola?
I think Grandma Dee's is being cruel. They have made it difficult to choose a favorite out of the two. After savoring both samples, not only was I left wanting more of each, but I couldn't decide which I liked better. The quality and fresh taste of each was just exceptional! Well done, Grandma Dee's. I will be heading over to their online store to not only buy more granola and seasoned nuts for my husband and I for the holidays, but I will also be getting the majority of our holiday gift giving list shopped for just with one stop to Grandma Dee's.
Don't forget to follow Grandma Dee's blog!

Who is Grandma Dee?:
Grandma Dee was born in Algiers, Louisiana in 1884. Everyone always knew where to find her. She loved to feed people. Her house on Lavergne Street is a special place for hundreds if not thousands of friends, family and loved ones. If you went to see her, rest assured you would leave with a full belly.
Bon appetit!
Disclosure: I was sent samples from Grandma Dee's in order to write up an honest review. The views above are mine and mine alone.
