Kraft Kitchens Tips:

Storage Know-How:

 

Nuts have a high oil content that makes them susceptible to spoilage. To keep shelled nuts from turning rancid, store them in the refrigerator. If you buy nuts in bulk and want to keep them for several months, store them in the freezer.

 

Variation:

 

Prepare as directed, but bake at 350ºF for 15 min. instead of heating in the microwave.
