Diamond of California is adding two fall-inspired flavors to its snack nut line — Pumpkin Pie Spice Snack Walnuts and Pecan Pie Pecans. The new flavors combine premium nuts with seasonings and a lightly sweetened glaze, according to the company. Pecan Pie Pecans are the brand’s first-ever exclusively pecan snack offering.
“As we looked to expand our snack line with iconic flavors, we were inspired by two of our most popular fall recipes, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Both of the signature holiday pie recipes complement our walnuts and pecans and make for a festive and delicious ready-to-eat snack,” says Craig Tokusato, CMO. “There is a certain magical feeling about fall and we wanted to encapsulate that in these two new snack nut flavors. We know these new straight-from-the-bag fall-inspired flavors will spice up snack time.”
Pumpkin Pie Spice Snack Walnuts are a blend of pumpkin and warm spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and clove, paired with freshly shelled and roasted walnuts. Available for a limited time only, through the end of 2023 they are available in four-ounce standup reclosable bags that carry an SRP of $3.99.
Pecan Pie Pecans are freshly shelled, roasted, and lightly glazed, inspired by the brand’s beloved “Favorite Pecan Pie” recipe. The company’s first snacking pecan, they are available in 3.5-ounce reclosable standup bags that have an SRP of $3.99.
The company launched its first snack walnut line in 2020 highlighting California-grown walnuts, which it reports are rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, and Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) Omega-3, with four core flavors, Salted Dark Chocolate, Himalayan Pink Salt, Sweet Maple, and Hot Honey.
