Hazelnuts, Walnuts, Peanuts, Almonds... I don't know that there's many a nut I wouldn't like. Toasted, roasted, and sugar-coated for the win!

Cashews also {technically a seed} cashewQuote:
Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed.

> macadamias
Ooo, hell yes - those are what I think I was thinking of when I wrote hazelnut earlier.. though I'm pretty sure I love both. 
Ever had those Mauna Loa chocolate covered macadamias? Those are heavenly!

If memory serves, I once heard that macadamias are one of the - if not the - world's most calorie dense food by weight.

cashew is the plant Anacardium occidentale
Cashew is a multi-purpose tree of the Amazon, and is frequently found growing wild on the drier sandy soils in the central plains of Brazil and cultivated in many parts of the Amazon rainforest. It grows up to 15 meters in height and has a thick and tortuous trunk and branches so winding that they frequently reach the ground. The cashew tree produces many resources and products. The bark and leaves of the tree are used medicinally, the cashew nut has international appeal and market value as a food, and even the shell around the nut is used medicinally and has industrial applications in the plastics and resin industries for its phenol content. Then there is the "cashew fruit." The cashew fruit is very peculiar as it really isn't a fruit at all. It is actually a swollen peduncle that grows behind the real fruit which yields the cashew nut. This large pulpy and juicy part is a pseudo-fruit with a fine sweet flavor and is commonly referred to as "Cashew Fruit" or the Cashew "apple." Fresh or frozen cashew fruit concentrate is a common juice product found at food stores in South America. The cashew nut grows externally in its own kidney shaped hard shell at the end of this pseudo-fruit or peduncle. The nut kernel inside is covered with an inner shell and between the two shells is a thick caustic toxic oil called "cardol" which will raise blisters on the skin. Cashew nuts must be cleaned to remove the cardol and then roasted to remove the toxins before they can be eaten.
cashew is an ethnobotanical plant used as an intoxacant in africa. there are many intresting uses of cashew.
