Nuts are one of the healthiest foods available. They are packed with healthy fats and provide a satisfying crunch that makes a great alternative to potato chips or party snacks. Nuts do contain a lot of calories, so it is important not to overdo it. There is no need to absently munch on nuts all day long or grab bowlfuls for a serving. Usually, a generous handful is more than enough to satisfy your craving and provide plenty of great health benefits.
If you are not usually a fan of nuts, this sweeter version might be just the thing to grab your interest. The blend of sweet and salty is irresistible for most people. The next time you get a craving for a sweet OR salty snack, whip up a batch of these slow cooker cinnamon and honey nuts!

I added coconut oil and chia seeds
Soooooo sticky. I’m not sure I can even serve them. I did the Crock Pot version. Is there we trick I missed?
Amy, Be sure to separate the almonds after they cool. The stickiness should go away after completely cooled. Hope this helps.
