With Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching, I am always looking for new and unique gifts to give out to my family and friends. I always love making some kind of holiday food in a healthy way! I decided to adapt a gingerbread spice almond recipe that I found on the internet, making it with whole and better-for-you ingredients. I am sure that everyone from young to old will enjoy these gingerbread spiced treats! No one will know that they are the least bit healthy because they are so delicious! These are the perfect treat to bring to your Thanksgiving/Christmas parties or are a great gift!
