Ben Heggy’s Special Peanuts (Hard Whites)
Ben Heggy’s Special Peanuts are large Virginia peanuts roasted in peanut oil until crispy, then lightly salted.
Whether you’re chopping them to go in a dish or blending them into homemade peanut butter, you can’t go wrong with the quality of these nuts.
The possibilities for using these peanuts are endless!
Toss them into a salad for added crunch and a good source of protein. Chop them and roll soft cheeses in them for a fun dip for chips and vegetables.
They would also be delicious with Asian rice or noodle dishes as a topping. Chop up green onions and zest a lime to go with them and you have the making of a delicious meal. It is these little touches that really make a difference when you are cooking at home.
Of course, you needn’t cook with these peanuts. They are a brilliant bar snack to serve with beer or wine. We would add a little cheese too, but you would expect that from Shisler’s Cheese House!
You can pack them as a snack for work or school or even add them to your favorite trail mix.
If you love to combine sweet and savory flavors, then try these lightly salted peanuts with chocolate. You could mix some into cookies or crush a few over chocolate desserts for added crunch and a hint of salt.
These are one of our favorite things to keep in the cupboard as they make a great snack and can jazz up a meal quickly and easily. Follow our lead and grab some today!
How To Create a Christmas Sweet Treat Table
How To Create a Christmas Sweet Treat Table
Transform your celebration into a magical experience with a Christmas sweet treat table showcasing the season’s finest flavors.
This table will captivate your guests, from indulgent chocolates to sugar-free delights, offering something for every taste. Here’s your ultimate guide to crafting a dessert spread featuring Heggy’s signature confections and creative tips to elevate the presentation.
Choose the Star Treats
Your sweet table’s charm lies in the selection of irresistible treats. For a balanced mix, include:
- Chocolate buckeyes: These peanut butter and chocolate delights are a classic crowd-pleaser.
- Heggy’s haystacks: A crunchy, sweet-salty combination of pretzels coated in creamy chocolate.
- Heggy’s milk chocolate brownie creams: Luxuriously rich and perfect for brownie lovers.
- Heggy’s chocolate-covered raspberry creams: A fruity twist wrapped in decadent chocolate.
- Heggy’s milk chocolate peanut clusters: Nutty, crunchy, and satisfyingly sweet.
- Sugar-free mint meltaways: Guilt-free treats with a refreshing minty flavor.
- Sugar-free chocolate caramels: A chewy, indulgent delight minus the sugar.
- Heggy’s walnut caramels: A perfect addition for texture and flavor variety.
Plan the Presentation
A well-curated layout makes your table a visual and gastronomic delight. Here’s how to arrange it:
1. Choose a theme
Go for a festive theme, like “Winter Wonderland” with snow-white accents, or “Traditional Christmas” featuring reds, greens, and gold. Use themed tablecloths, runners, or garlands to set the tone.
2. Vary heights and layers
Use cake stands, tiered platters, and decorative bowls to create levels. This not only adds visual interest but also makes the treats more accessible.
3. Divide and conquer
Group similar items together for easy navigation. Arrange chocolates, sugar-free options, and nuts in distinct sections with labeled name cards for an elegant touch.
Add Extra Festive Flair
Add in decorative elements to tie the look together:
- Twinkling lights: String fairy lights around the table for a magical glow.
- Seasonal greenery: Add sprigs of pine, holly, or rosemary to bring natural warmth.
- Edible decorations: Use candy canes, gingerbread cookies, or chocolate ornaments to accent the table.
Sweet Pairings
Complement your treats with beverages like hot cocoa, coffee, or spiced cider. Think about creating a mini drink station beside the table for added convenience.
Accommodate Dietary Needs
Adding sugar-free options makes sure no one feels left out. Clearly label these items to guide guests with dietary preferences or restrictions.
Encourage Takeaways
Provide festive goodie bags so guests can take a piece of the magic home. Add personalized tags so that everyone feels special.
Final Touches
Before the party, make sure everything is neatly arranged and fresh. Refill empty spaces as guests enjoy the treats to keep the table looking inviting.
With a touch of creativity and the delicious charm of our confections, your Christmas sweet treat table will become the highlight of the holiday celebration. Let this joyful spread bring smiles, sweet memories, and festive cheer to your home!

Celebrating National Hot Breakfast Month
Can you believe February is actually National Hot Breakfast Month?
With that in mind, we’ve got some ideas for hot breakfasts to energize you in the morning!
Chocolate Croissants
Take some crescent rolls and roll them up with pieces of chocolate inside. Bake in the oven until the rolls are golden brown and the chocolate is melted. These make a great breakfast that will surprise your family any day of the week!
Crepes
Crepes are simply a delicious thin pancake that can be filled with toppings both sweet and savory.
You will need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
0.25 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
How to make the crepes:
- Mix all ingredients in a blender. This will create a puree and will ensure that all of the ingredients are mixed well. If you don’t have a blender you can do this by hand, but ensure that you mix thoroughly.
- Bubbles will form on the top when the batter is ready. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. If you are preparing ahead for a dinner party, it can be kept in the fridge for 1 day.
- Heat a non-stick 12inch skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter and allow this to melt and coat the pan.
- Add 1/3 of a cup of batter, swirl it to evenly cover the pan, and cook until golden brown. This should take 2 to 3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a silicone spatula. Cook for another minute and remove from the pan.
- Continue with the remaining batter, adding butter before each crepe.
Oatmeal
It’s a classic for a reason! If you need fueling up for a full morning then oatmeal is nearly always the one to go for. You’ll have your own favorite way of making it, whether it’s with water or milk, and that’s one of the best things about it. Why not try a new topping? Peanut butter, jams, fresh fruit, seeds, you name it and it can be popped on top of a bowl of oatmeal!
Shakshuka
Shakshuka is a Mediterranean breakfast dish.
Preheat your oven to 350F. Start by cooking down one chopped clove of garlic, a sliced onion and a sliced red pepper in an ovenproof frying pan. You want them to be cooked until they are really soft. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a teaspoon each of ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
When ready, make 4 small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each one. Pop the whole pan into the oven for around 10 minutes. Watch closely so that the eggs are cooked how you like them. Once removed from the oven, a sprinkle of fresh coriander can add freshness. Simply serve with fresh bread for dipping in the delicious sauce.

There’s a National Day for Everything!
Did you know that there are national days and months for almost any topic that you can think of? There’s a National Peanut Butter Day (March 1st) and National Deviled Egg Day (November 2nd). National Cheese Pizza Day falls on September 5th and February 28th is National Chocolate Souffle Day! Today we’re going to explore some of June’s more unusual holidays!
National Cheese Day
This falls on June 4th and is, of course, our favorite national day of them all. You can always celebrate with a slice of delicious cheese from our range of beautifully made local cheeses.We also have lots of blog posts about different cheeses and ways to eat them to inspire you.
National Donut Day
June 7th provides the perfect excuse to indulge in a sweet treat, whether it’s the fried variety at the fair or a glazed donut from your favorite bakery.
National Rosé Day
June 8th should be spent with a glass of pink, hopefully soaking up the sun.
National Candy Month
Yes, that’s right! June is National Candy Month! According to the National Confectioners Association this is “a moment to celebrate a classic American manufacturing success story”. Of course, we recommend celebrating with some of our amazing range of candy and chocolates that we have in store and online. Many of them are from Heggy’s, a local supplier that we are proud to support. Founded by Ben Heggy in 1923, Heggy’s Chocolates remains one of the premiere candy companies in America. Over the years, Heggy’s Chocolates has remained a family owned and operated business and today they maintain a high level of commitment to their customers and the community.
If you think that you’ve overdone it stocking up on confectionery, then check out our fun ways to use up leftover chocolate.
National Dairy Month
Naturally, National Cheese Day falls within National Dairy Month. The International Dairy Foods Assocation say “National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. It was initially created to stabilize the dairy demand when production was at a surplus, but has now developed into an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry has made to the world.”
Whether it’s with ice cream, cheesecake or a simple glass of milk, there are lots of ways to celebrate National Dairy Month. Of course, we always recommend starting with a slice of cheese!
National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month
After all that candy and cheese, you might be relieved to hear that June is also National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month. Why not check out our salad ideas for ways to use fresh fruit and vegetables to create a delicious meal? You could also celebrate by planting some of your own fruits and vegetables to harvest later in the year. If you’re not experienced in gardening, start with something easy like fresh herbs.
We hope that you’ve enjoyed getting to know some of these holidays. As we’re nearing the end of June now you might need to celebrate them all this weekend! Don’t worry though, we’ll be back to tell you about some more in July.

Uses for Pretzels That You Might Not Have Thought Of!
We love to find new ways for you to indulge in our favorite treats here at Shisler’s Cheese House, and today is no exception. We’re going to explore some uses for pretzels that you might not have thought of. That’s right, they’re not just for dipping and snacking!
We stock a huge range of pretzels, including favorites such as our Gourmet Chocolate Covered Pretzels. These have been made with love by Stefanelli’s Candies in Erie, PA since 1929 and we are now proud to offer them to you here in Ohio’s Amish Country! You’ll also find peanut butter, honey mustard, and yogurt pretzels amongst a wide range of others.
Uses for Pretzels: Breakfast
If you’re making your own granola bars at home, or even just a good batch of granola for hearty morning breakfasts, why not add a handful of crushed pretzels to the mix? They can add both texture and flavor. The saltiness will contrast with your chosen sweet ingredients to create the perfect mix.
Uses for Pretzels: Snacks
Of course, pretzels are a snack in themselves, but they can also be elevated to a whole new level with just a few moments of effort. Crush up salty pretzels and roll a ball of cream cheese in them for a quick and easy game night dip. Combine them with other treats to create a sweet or savory trail mix. You can even add a pretzel on top of your favorite sweet drinks; hot chocolates and milkshakes with plenty of whipped cream are our favorites.
Uses for Pretzels: Dinner
Savory pretzels make a great crunchy topping for a variety of dishes including chicken, pasta or even schnitzel. Crush them up using a rolling pin and sprinkle them anywhere that you might use breadcrumbs. Just be sure that you haven’t chosen chocolate pretzels!
Uses for Pretzels: Baking
This is where pretzels really can be used anywhere! They’re great crushed into the crust for a cheesecake or sprinkled on top of cupcakes. Combine them with popcorn and melted chocolate to make clusters for movie night. Chop them into your cookie dough for extra crunch. Add them to your s’mores for another layer of fun.
If you are not in the mood for baking yourself, then why not pick up some Heggy’s White Chocolate Pretzel Delights? These are a combination of fresh ground pretzels mixed with a white creamy coating so that you can enjoy a treat without the need to cook.
We hope that you’ve enjoyed our new uses for pretzels. How do you like to eat them? Let us know in the comments below!
