If you’ve been following along in the fast food world, you can’t help to have noticed that SPICE is the trendiest menu item right now. The popular spicy chip brand Takis certainly haven’t missed that, this month announcing a whole new product line up – Takis Hot Nuts. Three new varieties of spiced nuts are now on sale (tasting notes from Takis):
- Fuego: Takis signature hot chili pepper and lime variety! The heat is on with this fiery, crunchy snack – each bite is like eating fire
- Flare: The perfect savory snack with just a spark of heat, this chili pepper lime variety provides the right amount of spice with every bite
- Smokin’ Lime: Smoky chipotle flavoring meets a hint of lime for an intensely tasty snack
Takis Hot Nuts are available at retailers nationwide. For more information about Takis, visit https://barcel-usa.com

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV shows.
I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have covered the Utah dining scene for the better part of fifteen years.
