Agave nectar is not much better than HFCS. In fact, its made almost the exact same way. Agave Syrup is “low glycemic” which has its benefits if you are concerned about an increase in blood sugar. Based on my new approach to "natural" eating, I am trying to phase it out of my diet completely. With that said, I also have a hard time throwing something away that I spent good money on so I will continue to use it until its gone. You are absolutely correct.

When I started to make this, I swore I had Stevia in the pantry but all I could find was Sweet n Low so that is what I ended up using. I was hoping it would add a bit of a crust to the nut sort of like a candied nut. I am not a huge fan of Agave either but I was also out of honey. :) Great question.

Stevia has a super high sweet factor with 0 glycemic value, and it comes from a naturally growing herb. Great stuff, definitely more paleo friendly.
