Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for a few weeks.

Tip 1: While fantastic on their own, these are also great as salad toppers!
Tip 2: These are super versatile! If you’d like to swap for another type of nut, go for it! If you just want to have that maple flavour, leave out the cinnamon.
Tip 3: These are great for a gift! Simply fill up a nice bag or jar and attach a bow!
