Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder -
2 tsp. brown sugar -
1/2 cup whole almonds -
1 tsp. honey -
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract -
1/2 cup dried apricots (quartered) -
1/2 cup dates (halved) -
1/2 cup unsalted walnut halves (dry-roasted) -
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts (dry-roasted) -
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds (dry-roasted) -
1/4 cup raisins
Directions
-
In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and brown sugar. In a small skillet, heat the almonds, honey, and vanilla over very low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the honey has melted and the almonds are sticky, stirring constantly. Add the almonds to the cocoa powder mixture, stirring to coat well. Pour the almonds into a fine-mesh sieve, shaking gently to remove the excess coating. -
In a large bowl, stir together the almonds and the remaining ingredients. Transfer to a tightly covered container. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature for up to one week.
Cooking Tip: To dry-roast a large amount of nuts or seeds at one time, place them in a shallow baking dish. Roast them at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can freeze them in an airtight container or resealable plastic freezer bag so they can be ready at a moment’s notice. You don’t even need to thaw them before using them.
