Sweet crunchy nuts come to mind when I think about holiday snacks. Besides serving them as part of snacky platters for guests, they're excellent as ice cream and pudding toppings.

Ingredients
Lucuma Vanilla Nuts
2 cups soaked, dehydrated walnuts
1 cup macadamia nuts
1 cup cashews
4 tablespoons palm sugar
3 tablespoons lucuma powder
3 tablespoons yacon syrup or honey
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 pinches salt

5 cups soaked, dehydrated pecans

Methods/steps
For both varieties
1) Toss all ingredients together. I like to mix them with my hands!
2) Spread on teflex sheets and dehydrate at 115F for 8-10 hours or until dry.
3) Periodically move them around on the sheets to allow for proper drying.
Additional Tips
I've found that coatings stick much better to dry nuts than wet ones which is why I soak and dehydrate mine first. They don't necessarily need to dry for too long, but long enough to dry the outside, because you'll dry them for longer with the coating.
