This is a perfect snack to have handy to help avoid eating sweets! It is much healthier than sweets and you’ll feel better about yourself when you avoid the high carbs. Nuts are totally good for us.
I found this recipe on Facebook and I’m glad I did!
This is a perfect snack to serve at Mahjongg games. It is also great to munch on while playing other games.
The only difficult thing about the recipe was gathering all the nuts (pun intended 😊).

This serving dish is so very special to me... it was my Grandmother Christina Bostwick's. I honestly haven't used it very many times; I've been afraid it may get broken...but finally I am now realizing it is to be used to truly enjoy it.
