    This recipe for How to Make Stevia Coated Nuts is easier than you may think it is.
    I like that it gives us an option for 'sugar coated nuts' without actually using sugar!

    How to Make Stevia Coated Nuts

     
    This is a healthier way to eat those 'sugar coated' nuts in my opinon.

    It is also the perfect snack for parties, tailgates, or snacking on at any time of the day.
     

    My Stevia Cream Cheese Frosting recipe has been a popular recipe with my readers.
    That certainly is a reminder that Stevia is a sweetener that people like.
    I am sure that has a lot to do with Stevia being a natural sweetener that is also powerful.

     

    People always seem to ask is Stevia really healthy?

    What I can tell you is that Stevia is derived from nature. That is, Stevia is derived from a plant and not from chemicals in a laboratory.

    There may be some negative side effects of stevia.

    Like with anything else that you eat, there is always a chance that you could have an allergic reaction. Stevia has been associated with lowering blood pressure or blood sugar. However, comparing stevia with the alternatives, including sugar, you need to do what is best for you and of course, discuss any concerns with a professional.
     

    As a sweetener, Stevia is much sweeter than sugar or other sweeteners.

    This means that it takes less Stevia to obtain the same level of sweetness of sugar or other sweeteners.
    As a result, using Stevia in place of sugar in a recipe is not always going to be 1:1.

    It is always best to read the packaging of the Stevia product that you choose to use for this recipe.

    You may be surprised to learn that some products that use Stevia may also have another sweetener, such as sugar, in it. This is done in order to allow you to use that particular product containing Stevia in a 1:1 ratio as with sugar.

     

    Here are some tips for making this recipe for How to Make Stevia Coated Nuts

    I just mentioned that some Stevia containing products may have other sweeteners added to them in order for you to use that product just as you would use sugar in a recipe. You should read the packaging label on your product if you are in doubt.

    Here are some more helpful tips for you.

    1. While this recipe is focused on using peanuts, you are welcome to use any nut of your choice. That included almonds, cashews, or even mixed nuts.
    2. Subbing in another extract for your Vanilla Extract is a nice way to add more flavor in this recipe. There are other great extracts to try such as maple or (I just noticed this one) cake batter flavor extract.
    3. Spicing up your Stevia coated nuts in another yummy way to personalize them. I like Pumpkin Pie Spice, Allspice, nutmeg, or even
      ground cinnamon for this recipe.

     

    Since this recipe calls for Stevia and not sugar, you may notice a difference.

    Stevia does not caramelize the same way that sugar does. However, this difference should not have an effect on your sugar free sugared nuts.

    How to Make Sugar Free Stevia Coated Nuts.

    • Start by prepping a cookie sheet , or similar baking sheet with sides, with Parchment Paper or foil. Set your pan aside as you will need it later on.
    • In a 2-quart pot combine together the Stevia, vanilla, water, and salt. Cook this on medium until it begins to boil, stirring as it cooks.
    • When your pot begins to boil, add the nuts, tossing them as you stir.
    • Your nuts should somewhat caramelize, however, since you are not using real sugar, the caramelized nuts will not look exactly their sugared counterpart. Remove the nuts from the heat and carefully (as they will be hot) spread the nuts out on the cookie sheet that you prepped in the first step of these directions. Allow to cool.
    • An option, while the nuts are cooling, you can sprinkle additional sweetener, smaller seeds, or cinnamon on them for additional tastes.
