Serves: 2 cups
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Raw Nuts (We used Cashews, Pecans and Almonds)
  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
  1. In a bowl combine the coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt and cayenne pepper. Next add the maple syrup and stir until a thick liquid is formed and all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  2. In a deep skillet over medium heat add the coconut oil and sugar mixture. Stir until mixture becomes smooth, about 5 seconds. Add the nuts to the skillet and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. The nuts will soak up the sugar mixture and become very thick. Remove from heat when nuts are very sticky and coated well. There should be very little liquid left in the skillet.
  3. Spread nuts in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet to cool. When nuts are cooling, use a spatula to separate the nuts from each other. This will help any large clusters from forming.
  4. Store in cool dry place or serve when cooled completely.
  5. Enjoy.
