Quick and Easy Candied Nuts Recipe

I always like to offer my food sensitivity clients a sweet treat, and this recipe allows people to use their personal “safe” nuts and “safe” sweetener to make this addictive snack.

Even for those who aren’t dealing with food sensitivity issues, these treats will satisfy the craving for sweets that most of us have without straying from your eating plan.
