Walking into the Co-op store to purchase ingredients for my favorite snack, Cacao-nut and Seed Bites, I am greeted in the bulk foods section by an array of fifteen varieties of nuts and six different kinds of seeds.

What’s your idea of the ideal snack? Hmmmm…..It should be yummy, of course. What else? For me, it should have a great texture, be healthy, and it should satisfy hunger, providing fuel for my day's activities. If it is a sweet snack, it shouldn't be overly sweet and, if homemade, it should be fun and easy to prepare, with lots of variations.
