Unfortunately, I don't NEED the nuts in winter, but I do LOVE them!

I've used cashews and raisins in a bag at shooting matches when I knew I wouldn't get a chance to eat lunch with excellent results.

If your kid like chocolate, you can add some M&Ms to hers, and it would help minimize melting concerns.

Nuts are also excellent cold weather snacks when you're outside, especially if you are skinny with little body fat. You need some fat in your diet to maintain body temperature, which is why military rations for cold weather environments always have a pack of nuts in them.

GORP, without M&M's is against the law around these parts partner!
