Soggy nuts

I learned a good lesson today. While peanuts make a tasty fat to add to your afternoon snack, it's best to add them to your snack just before enjoying them. My afternoon snack was yogurt, grapes and some very soggy roasted peanuts. I know that peanuts aren't the best nut choice, but these new Planters Ketle Roasted peanuts that my wife bought are really tasty. I prepared all my food needs for the day this morning before heading off to work. At about 3pm I was really looking forward to my afternoon snack, only to find that the nuts no longer had the snappy crispness that I love so much. Soggy nuts...not that appetizing.
