Homemade oatmeal candies with nuts are a true taste of childhood and cozy evenings. Inspired by European culinary traditions, they embody the harmony of sweetness and richness. Nuts, lightly roasted to reveal their aroma, add depth to the treat. Oatmeal, gently simmered in milk with butter, creates a tender texture, while dates and raisins contribute natural sweetness and a subtle fruity note. The coconut flakes that coat the finished candies give them an exotic lightness. These candies are not only a delicacy but also a healthy snack rich in vitamins and energy.
