It’s National Chocolate Covered Nut Day, so grab a hand full and celebrate!  According to National Day Calendar dot com, for thousands of years, nuts have been a staple of the human diet. The walnut was a favorite of the ancient Greeks and Romans, while Native Americans favored pecans.  Goobers, the first chocolate covered peanuts, hit the market in 1925.  Goober is a common slang word for peanut. The peanut M & M was introduced in 1954. They were tan until 1960 when the colors red, yellow, and green were added to production.  You can also get chocolate covered almond M & M’s.  You shouldn’t feel bad about snacking and celebrating Chocolate Covered Nut Day, both dark chocolate and nuts are actually good for you, in moderation of course.  My wife is a fan of double dipped chocolate peanuts. Be careful because not all double dipped chocolate nuts are created equal.  The best I’ve found locally are from Stokes General Store in Front Royal.  Listen to the podcast here; https://theriver953.com/lonnies-fun-fact/
