Why do I know Dust Bros?

You'll have heard of the Dust Bros range as I have previously done a review of their BBQ rubs as part of the "Great Rub Off" competition. This time though, I learnt from their mailing list that these nuts were new in the range and were available to buy.

I quickly got out my wallet and bought some of the Mega Mexican range. There are three flavours in the range:

• Jerk Bezerk
• Serious Spice
• Mega Mexican

I didn't go for the other two as Mrs Dad What Cooks is not a fan of overly spicy food. However - disclaimer here - the guys at Dust Bros were kind enough to throw in some of the Serious Spice as a freebie so big thank you for that!

Further disclaimer - I am not being paid or incentivised to write this review. I have opted to do so of my own accord just because I want to support the guys there in what they do.

So what's in the nuts?

The flavours are immense. I was expecting peanuts but was really pleased to learn that you get a mix of peanuts, cashews (my favourite) and almond. As you can see below there is Almond (left), Cashew (centre) and Peanut (right).

Additional flavours

I learned also as I was eating that there was a hint of various additions. Although the packaging I had got mine in was the prototype bags (real ones I'm informed are nearly ready) it does actually say on there with the ingredients.

The Mega Mexican had a hint of lime and the Seriously Spicy had some hot honey to make it a little sweeter and sticky. This was a nice touch (as you can see its clear on the packaging but I was just too excited to read it.

The Verdict

Both flavours deliver. The Mega Mexican has a good warmth to it without being overwhelming, and that hint of lime lifts it beyond your standard flavoured nut. If you want something with a bit more kick, the Serious Spice lives up to its name. The hot honey addition gives it a sweet and spicy balance that makes them dangerously moreish.

The mix of cashews, almonds and peanuts is a smart choice too. It keeps things interesting and gives you a variety of textures in each handful rather than just being a bag of peanuts with seasoning on.

Would I buy them again?

Without question. The Mega Mexican would be my go-to for snacking, and the Serious Spice would be brilliant alongside a cold beer at a BBQ. At the time of writing, the range is available directly from the Dust Bros website. I'd recommend keeping an eye on their range as I suspect the Jerk Bezerk would be worth a try as well.
