\nHawaii is my favourite place in the world. As soon as I landed there it was love at first sight and I\u2019m certain I left my heart there. Hawaii has such a natural beauty with breath-taking scenery and the perfect warm climate. There I found adventure, hiking trails, waterfalls, volcanoes, beautiful golden beaches, sunsets, surfing, luaus, history, great food and friendly people. It\u2019s also where I fell in love with macadamia nuts.<\/p>\n

While in Hawaii my husband and I ate a lot of macadamia nuts which are grown there. I came home armed with bags of them (including some chocolate covered ones). How could I resist? Macadamia nuts are delicious with a nice crunch, rich creamy buttery texture, and natural subtle sweetness. They make a perfect healthy snack.

\nI was surprised to see how macadamia nuts were used in so many ways Hawaii. We enjoyed macadamia nuts every day in drinks, snacks, desserts and savoury meals. I have to confess, my ultimate FAVOURITE food made with macadamia nuts was the traditional \u201cHula Pie\u201d dessert at Dukes Beach House Restaurant. Hula pie is mounded with macadamia nut ice cream over a chocolate cookie crust, topped with chocolate fudge, crushed macadamias, and whipped cream. I haven\u2019t stopped dreaming of this pie since I left Hawaii! <\/p>\n

In Hawaii, we enjoyed these foods with macadamia nuts:<\/p>\n
