This Paleo snack is also a sweet treat, so be sure to serve it with some protein to balance the sugars. A piece of grilled chicken breast or a hard-boiled egg is a good accompaniment.

Chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes before eating.
This recipe also works great with pears! Or change the flavor by swapping out the almond butter with another Paleo-friendly option, such as sunflower seed butter with a few sunflower seeds sprinkled on with the raisins. You may also like cashew or pecan butter. Or try coconut butter and add a sprinkle of shredded, unsweetened coconut to the top.
