Looking for a holiday treat to snack on that’s not cookies? Here it is: a whole food-based sweet that is full of fiber, healthy fats and flavor. The variety of nuts in this recipe provide an array of heart-healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. Roasting the nuts will bring out their warm toasty taste, and with the natural caramel-like flavor of dates and a hint of cardamom, these treats are sure to satisfy a sweet tooth while providing your body with rich nutrition. You can also roll the “dough” into balls, and coat in a blend of cocoa powder and cinnamon for a more truffle-like treat. —Dana Mealing, RDN, LDN, community nutrition educator, Tevis Center for Wellness
