Maple Nut Patties

My family really likes the Genesis Maple Nut Royale bars, but at $1.25 a bar, it was getting rather pricey. So I read the ingredients on the back and made up my own version.

1/2 c. maple syrup
6 oz. almonds
5 oz. walnuts
4 oz. pecans
3 oz. macadamias
water as needed

Place all the nuts (not soaked) in food processor, and process until finely ground. Then, while machine is running, slowly pour in syrup. Add water (just a little) if need to make a scoopable batter. Drop on Teflex sheets in 2 tablespoon scoops. Spread into small patties, and dehydrate 24-48 hours (longer is better for us).

These are moist and good; makes about 32 patties.
