Chocolate Nut Chippers

By

Grandma stored nuts in the freezer to prevent them from becoming rancid. She toasted the nuts just before baking to crisp them and bring out their flavor. She also told us that toasting nuts helped to prevent them from sinking in batter-based foods such as cakes and breads. Another simple trick to prevent sticking was to toss chopped nuts with 1 to 2 teaspoons of flour from the recipe before using.
