This is a super easy recipe for a great snack addition to your holiday celebrations. Who needs chips when you can eat sweet and spicy almonds? This snack would be great alongside my Gingerbread Granola. Click here for that recipe.
I am thinking about giving my daughter’s teachers a batch of these instead of the applesauce I was going to make for them. This is so much easier. They take only a minute to throw together and then 20 minutes in the oven. Plus, they will make your house smell fabulous!
