    Love these. Quick and easy to do, and good for when you're on the prowl for a snack, but don't want something too unhealthy.

    Really moreish. As if this isn't diet-busting enough, I add a sprinkle of soft brown sugar and a handful of fresh rosemary, like Nigella's Union Square bar nuts. Yum.
