If you have driven from the San Francisco/San Jose, CA, area over the hills in the Southeast to Highway 5, you may remember signs alerting you to the presence of Casa de Fruta, a roadside stop, near Pacheco Pass. Casa de Fruta has grown over the years (since it's beginnings in 1908) and now includes a fruit/produce stand, a restaurant or two, a gift shop, a train ride, and other amusements. While some items can be a bit pricey, you'll have your choice of refreshments if you stop there. These chocolate-covered almonds were impressive in size.

My apologies in advance to Casa de Fruta for the poor image (scanned package label) above. This sometimes happens with foil or highly reflective wrapping material.
