Fancy hotels have the best lobby bars: big comfy seats, a bartender that's dressed for success, a creative cocktail list, and best of all — the snacks! The nicer the hotel, the better the snacks, so for every drink I down, I'm liable to eat an entire bowl of nuts, pretzels, olives, or trail mix. But how dangerous are those delicious snacks that taste scrumptious with our mojito? If a Long Island iced tea has about 780 calories and you enjoy some snacks with your drink, things can quickly turn from happy hour to calorie hour! Take this quiz to see how well you know the calorie count of these popular bar snacks.

Whether it's sweet, spicy pecans or smoky cashews, nuts have always been a part of my holiday tradition. This year, I decided, would be no different, only I would combine my nut of choice, crunchy roasted almonds, with all of my favorite flavor profiles — smoky, spicy, slightly garlicky — to create the most satisfying holiday snack ever. Because these nuts don't require a lot of energy, they're fantastic to give away as edible gifts over and over again. See the recipe when you read more.
