Most people enjoy a healthy treat every now and then. The problem is that most candy is full of high fructose corn syrup and other unnatural ingredients which are harmful to the health. However, there are healthy alternatives that are equally satisfying.
Arrange on a small plate:
• Good organic dark chocolate
• Dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots
• Raw nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans
Then simply pile a piece of each together and enjoy!
