Nature’s Candy

I’ve been wanting to make this one for ages, and I finally had made time the other night to cook (aka finally ran out of free food and went grocery-shopping). Recipe adapted from here!

I may add it onto the list of Thanksgiving dishes to cook up for the band. :O (Most of us are sticking around over break, so I’m hoping we can get together for food. :D

  1. […] here! I adore cheap/healthy recipes that don’t require a whole lot of prep time. Like the Nature’s Candy, the only real addition I made was the purple yams. I also didn’t have sage or rosemary (this […]
