Honey.
Agave.

I don’t care what you call these natural sugars- they are SUGAR.

And they are NOT GOOD FOR MANY OF US.

Stevia is a natural leaf sweetener and not sugar.

Let’s make sweet and salt Cocoa almonds with STEVIA!

Oven 350F (if you have a crap oven, like mine, get an oven thermometer to calibrate)

8Cups natural almonds (3lbs)
Liquid stevia
Sea salt
100% cacao powder

Put almonds in big bowl
Spray with stevia to wet, stir with spatula
Repeat
Sprinkle cacao powder and stir

Put in the next batch

Makes about 3 batches
Store in an airtight container

I don’t measure things exactly, if you need to…
