Honey bites


Honey is a good thing, you can eat it or call your loved ones by it.
So why not make use of this natures goodness?
 I made this recipe on the perfect occasion of Raksha Bandhan. My brother and other guests who visited my place had splendid moments celebrating the festival and relishing the honey biscuits.
Also honey and nuts are favorites of the kids, so this makes a very good option for their snack box. These biscuits are very good source of vital nutrients for them.
