Notes

For a delightful twist, try using maple syrup instead of honey or add spices like nutmeg or a pinch of chipotle for a kick. Store in an airtight container to keep them crunchy, and feel free to experiment with different nuts like pecans or almonds. Enjoy as a stand-alone snack or as a topping for salads and desserts!
