Snack Attack!!

My good friend, Biscuit, shared this snack recipe.  It is ALLL Paleo- in fact, she lovingly renamed it Paleo Crack!  Love that girl!  It is chock full of good fats and flavor.  The flavor part is REALLY important :)

5 cups of nuts and seeds (slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, etc.)
- Be sure to use at least 2-3 cups of slivered almonds; this replaces the oats of a normal granola
1/3 cup of honey or agave nectar
1/3 cup of coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla (preferably natural)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut

Mix honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Be careful; it will boil quickly! Move off stove and cool. Meanwhile, mix nuts and seeds in a mixing bowl; pour cooled mixture over top and mix til thoroughly coated. Spread on a baking sheet on parchment paper and bake for 20-30 minutes at 300 degrees. Watch closely and don't put it too close to the heating element. The idea is to just "toast" everything. Allow to cool slightly, and then pour it back into the mixing bowl and add your dried fruit and coconut. Spread over wax paper until cooled, then place in airtight container where it will keep until you eat it all, which will be about an hour.
