Wasabi Roasted Peas
Wasabi Roasted Peas
This is a fun spicy snack that has a crunchy texture and packs a punch in terms of flavor. We absolutely love wasabi peas and they are perfect for you if you are a spice lover! The heat is found in the wasabi coating around the deliciously roasted peas.
An excellent snack for hiking or a day out, they can also be used in various cooking dishes to add crunch and heat. Try throwing them in with your favorite trail mix for a fantastic contrast of flavors. These wasabi peas can even be crushed in a blender to make a spicy crust for chicken or salmon. You could also crush them over nachos or tacos. Serve them as a bar snack with drinks or as a spicy addition to your cheeseboard with creamy, mild cheeses to complement the heat. They would even make a nice gift for anyone you know that loves to try spicy foods.
Wasabi is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes horseradish and mustard. It has a taste similar to hot horseradish. The root is pale green in color, and is usually either grated and served fresh, or dried and made into a powder or paste. It is one of the condiments used in Japanese food, particularly sushi and sashimi. You may have tried it at your local sushi restaurant.
If you haven’t tried wasabi peas before then now is the time to pop some in your basket. They are sure to have you reaching for more!

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!

Christmas Gift Boxes for the Whole Family
With Christmas fast approaching, we thought the time had come to remind our lovely customers about our wonderful range of gift boxes.
Our Deluxe Gift Box contains more of our favorite Amish products than ever:
- Troyer’s Trail Bologna Ring 1 Lb.
- Shisler’s Gift Mug with 1/2 Pound of Heggy’s Chocolates
- Shisler’s Private Label Apple Butter
- Shisler’s Private Label Hot Mustard

The Troyer’s Trail Bologna Ring is a chunky, all-beef bologna with a smoky taste, created by the fourth generation of the Troyer family. Our gift mug helps lovers of Shisler’s Cheese House share their pride as they drink their morning coffee. We’ve filled it with 1/2 a pound of Heggy’s Chocolates.
Shisler’s Private Label Apple Butter is made from the best locally grown Apples and locally produced Amish Butter, perfect for spreading on toast or stirring into your recipes. We also love our Private Label Mustard, which can be used as a dipping mustard or spread into sandwiches.
Colby cheese is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese native to the United States. It is very mild and creamy. Cojack cheese is a blend of Monterey Jack and Colby cheese, marbled together to create a striking effect. Monterey Jack is a buttery, semi-firm cheese which originated in California. It is usually only aged for around a month, making it a fresh, fairly soft cheese to enjoy.
Swiss Cheese is a holey, semi-hard cheese with a creamy color. It has a nutty, slightly piquant flavor whilst simultaneously being somewhat creamy. You’ll also get a wedge of Baby Swiss Cheese, which substitutes water for the milk’s whey to slow the bacterial action. This creates smaller holes and a milder flavor. With all of this cheese, we’ve given you crackers so that you have something to enjoy it with!
Summer Sausage can be kept without refrigeration, which is how it gained its name. Ours is smoked, rather than dried, with a tangy taste. It’s certainly too good to be kept for only the Summer season. Muffin mixes provide a great way to whip up some quick baking that your guests will love, without any stress.
Finally, because you’re clearly a huge Shisler’s Cheese House fan if you’re digging into this gift box, you’ll find your very own Shisler’s Cheese House t-shirt!
Our Amish Cheese and Goodies collection is another perfect gift for your loved ones this Christmas.You’ll find a 1Lb. Baby Swiss Wheel, a summer sausage link, a ¾ Lb. wheel each of Colby and Pepper Jack cheese, Shisler’s Private Label Mustard, home style Amish jam, Carr’s crackers, assorted chocolates and 6oz. REACH coffee.
One of our other great gifts is the Troyer’s Trail Bologna and Cheese box. Inside you will find a 1Lb. Troyer’s Trail Bologna ring, a ¾ Lb. wheel each of Colby and Farmer’s cheese and assorted chocolates.
We all know someone who really loves cheese, and that’s why we created the Cheese Lover’s Gift Box. This contains a ¾ Lb. wheel each of Cheddar, Cojack, Farmer’s Cheese and Pepper Jack, along with some assorted chocolates.
Check back in the coming weeks as we’ll share more reminders about our delicious Christmas gift boxes!
Thanksgiving Checklist: Everything You Need to Prepare
We know that it’s a busy time of year, so we’ve put together a checklist to help you prepare for the festivities next week.
1. The Turkey
Many tables around the country will hold a turkey next Thursday. Now is also the time to make sure that you have a big enough dish to cook your turkey in. If you’re brining your turkey, then check that you have a large receptacle to keep it in. You’ll want to start this process up to 24 hours before you are ready to roast.
2. A Vegetarian Option
If you have guests that don’t eat meat attending your dinner then you will need to prepare a vegetarian main. There are so many recipes out there these days, so have a quick search online. If you’re unsure what to serve, you could even ask your guests for ideas so that you know you’re serving something appropriate.
3. The Sides
You’ll know which sides are family favorites! Make sure that you have all the vegetables in advance. You can also start prepping and storing them ahead of time so that everything is simple on the day. If you have family coming to stay with you, why not make an evening of doing the prep the night before over a drink? If you are making the stuffing, stock up on ingredients and dry out your bread.
4. The Sauces
Cranberry sauce and gravy are absolute essentials, but they can both be made ahead of time and stored. You can even freeze gravy!
5. Dessert
Whether you’re buying your desserts or making them, no Thanksgiving meal is complete without a sweet treat. If you need to order them then now is the time to make those last minute orders.
6. Drinks
Make sure that you have stocked up on a range of wines and beers as well as non-alcoholic options for little ones and those who don’t drink. Put anything that needs to be chilled into the refrigerator ahead of time.
7. Snacks
For those moments when you get last-minute guests or you all need a snack as you settle down in front of the TV. Make this even easier by picking up our Thanksgiving Menu Collection. It includes Troyer’s Trail Bologna Ring, Cheddar Cheese, Cranberry Delight Mix, Shisler’s Private Label Apple Butter, Pumpkin Muffin Mix, and Uncle Ozgood’s Popcorn on the Cob. It’ll tick this straight off your Thanksgiving checklist without any stress at all.
8. Table settings
Whether you prefer a minimalist or plentiful style, it makes the day seem like an occasion if you set the table beautifully. Use your best dishes and flatware, light candles and create a centerpiece that will welcome your guests.
9. Prepare for house guests
If you are having house guests, prepare for their arrival. Make sure the beds have clean linens and that you’ve collected together any supplies that will be needed. Providing the WiFi password written down somewhere will stop people from asking you for it when you are preparing dinner, although you might want to take the opposite approach and ask people to put their phones away at the door!
10. Prepare for leftovers
Make sure that you have bread in the house for turkey sandwiches! Collect some boxes ready for guests to take away leftover treats to enjoy in the days after Thanksgiving.
We hope this helps you to prepare for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
