For the recipe, you will need raisins, which can be replaced with other dried fruits or their mix. The nut component can be anything, but it is important to use non-roasted nuts or seeds. For an invigorating effect and a refreshing taste, the candies are dipped in a small amount of matcha green tea, an internationally recognized superfood.
