How To Make Your Favorite Candies Healthier ~ Recipes

I have been enjoying some cashew brittle that my sister made. I thought I would do some research and see if I could find some recipes for candies that would be healthier but still tasty.

I found this one for cashew brittle that's a winner. It is a healthier choice, but still very tasty.  Better for you and still yummy? You bet.

I also love fudge. I am an admitted chocoholic. This is a really great alternative to the traditional recipes, and a no-cook method, even.

This one is absolutely decadent!  Macadamia delight, right?

This little candy bar is a giant in disguise. I love the coconut date rolls anyway, and covering them in chocolate makes them fabulous.
