Cocoa Almonds
Cocoa Almonds are a simple and tasty real food snack made with natural sweetener. Your family will gobble them up! As with most recipes that become staples in our house, I found the recipe for Cocoa Almonds in a cookbook… But then I decided there were unnecessary steps and ingredients in the recipe. I knew I could streamline it to make simpler. Because the only way real food happens daily in our house is if it’s simple! This recipe is equally if not more so amazing if you want to splurge and substitute hazelnuts for the almonds!

This was so good the second time around considering I made them with salted nuts first time. Going to try it on hazelnuts today

These are great! I added a little powder sugar for extra sweetness ?
