All-natural, gourmet "Wally Amos" Version of the Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nut The all-natural, gourmet "Wally Amos" version of chocolate-covered macadamia nut Aloha! In the late 1970's, Wally and his wife Christine relocated to Hawai’i and settled in the community of Kailua, on the island of O’ahu. The nut of choice in Hawai’i is the macadamia. Wally adapted his original recipe to the delight of his Hawaiian neighbors. This cookie is definitely the local favorite. As they say in Hawaii, it's "Da Kine" which means it's the best.
