MFUSA MarketingUncategorized

You’d never guess these holiday treats are sugar-free! During the holidays we can’t help but come across an avalanche of chocolate and sweet treats galore. Resistance is futile, basically impossible and unavoidable. The solution is go with a healthier and natural alternative that will taste good and you won’t have to resist having some.

 

Here’s the recipe for my Spiced Cocoa Nuts!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tbs high quality cocoa powder
  • 3 tbs of xylitol
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 cup of each- raw unsalted almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts

 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven at 325 F.
  2. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites for at least 30 seconds until light and foamy.
  4. Add cocoa, xylitol, Vanilla cinnamon, salt, and cloves, and whisk together until smooth.
  5. Stir in nuts until all are well coated.
  6. Spoon nuts onto prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.
  7. Bake 7 minutes and stir nuts. Bake an additional 7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or they will scorch.
  8. Allow nuts to cool completely and break them up. They will harden as they cool.
