A very easy snack that you can make for yourself or your kids is the Maple Nut Crunch. It doesn't cost too much to do, and best of all, you can change it almost endlessly depending on what you have on hand!
I like to make it with peanuts, but honestly use the nuts you like, it's delicious with almonds, cranberries and pumpkin seeds for example!

 

 

Maple nut crunch

1 cup of maple syrup
4 tablespoons of peanut butter (or other nuts)
2 cups of'' dry roasted peanuts*

 

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir constantly to avoid burns.
2. Cook the 2 ingredients together for about 4 minutes, or until the consistency is thick enough. You can use the cold water method to check the consistency. (Have a cup of cold water next to you and pour some of the mixture into the cup. Once it has reached a small ball consistency that is flexible between your fingers, you can add the nuts.
3. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Pour the mixture onto parchment paper and spread. Place in the refrigerator.
5. When completely cool, use a sharp knife and cut it into individual pieces.
6. Store in the refrigerator or at room temperature (it will become softer)

* The good thing about this recipe is that you can cook it a little more or a little less. I prefer the mixture to be a little soft and chewy, but cooking it a little longer will make it hard and crunchy.

* You can also mix coarsely chopped nuts, dried fruits and seeds (peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins, natural almonds, salted almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, Sun-flower seeds, linseedEtc.).

 

 Bon appétit!
