Any garlic lover will tell you that garlic butter is a top-tier way to enjoy the iconic allium. But instead of reserving [garlic butter for bread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-gondolas) and dough, Trader Joe's has taken the condiment and added it to a delicious mixture of savory nuts. Each can of Trader Joe's new Garlic Butter Nut Mix features a mix of almonds, pecans, coated cashews, and crispy bread chips. All these ingredients have been dusted with a flavorful garlic butter seasoning blend that is deliciously savory. The result is a nut mix that's elevated enough for any [cheese plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totally-cheeseball-cheese-spread), hors d’oeuvres spread, or cocktail pairing.
