The Truly Good Foods Southern Sweets snacks are a new line of treats from the brand that bring consumers a new way to enjoy their favorite nuts with a hint of sweetness. The new snack line comes in three flavor options including [Butter Toffee Peanuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunk-nibbles-toffee), Praline Nut Mix and [Praline Pecans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-pecan-caramel-crunch), which are all infused with sweet accents to make them more appealing as a snack treat.

The Truly Good Foods Southern Sweets snacks are something of an indulgence thanks to the sweetness and high calorie level of the nuts, but are positioned as a healthier alternative product to pick up. This is thanks to the healthy profile of the nuts used and because they are all made without the use of artificial ingredients.
