Last month when I presented at the Salt Lake Home Show I made a Healthier Zupas Nuts About Berries Salad Copycat and topped it with these Maple Candied Almonds. The crowd went WILD for these! What I love about them is that they are completely guilt free!! There is not a stitch of refined sugar to be found anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good candied almond – BUT when you are trying to remove refined sugar from your diet, you’ve got to have alternatives that are delicious and just as good if not BETTER than the sugary sweet version.

These candied almonds are the perfect addition for any salad, but also really delicious in desserts. I’m excited for Thursday’s recipe (you’ll have to come back any see!) where I will use these in a delicious healthy treat. They are simple to make and I can personally guarantee {{can I say that?!?}} that anyone who tastes these will fall in love immediately!
