Gluten Free and Vegan Rainbow Candied Nuts
Christmas has come and gone, but one of the best traditions of the season doesn't have to be packed away with the Elf on the Shelf, 326 ornaments and thousands of sparkly lights. I'm talking about candied nuts and this riff on the appetizer buffet foundation takes a few years off with rainbow sugar sprinkles. Still a great salad topper, these rainbow candied nuts (both gluten free and vegan) are a perfect, cheap and easy Valentine's day gift for friend, neighbor, coach or your honey. Just 5 minutes of effort sweetens up any meal or snack time. Also seen on the Serenity Now blog - thanks for stopping by!
