Nuts are ane of my daily go-to snacks. I buy raw almonds, pecans, and walnuts in bulk and reach for a small handful almost every afternoon. They are perfect for killing my cravings for something crunchy, plus they are packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber!

Candied Almonds

two tablespoons unrefined coconut oil {I apply Nutiva}
three tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon sea common salt
2 cups raw almonds

Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add maple syrup, vanilla and table salt and stir well.
When mixture is bubbling, add almonds.
Stir almonds well, so that they're completely coated in the maple syrup mixture. Cook and stir constantly for most 5 minutes, being careful and so that they don't burn down.
Take the pan off the heat and transfer the almonds onto a piece of wax newspaper or parchment paper to cool.
Serve when absurd. Hibernate the extras in an airtight container so that you don't consume them all in ane sitting. 🙂
