Peppered Almonds
This
is a great, healthy snack. Tasty almonds with a hot,
spicy "kick". A couple years ago, I was looking for something to make to give as gifts
to friends for Christmas. I noticed this recipe in
the electric consumer magazine that we get every month. Food is always a good bet
where our friends are concerned and the "reviews"
were terrific! Hope this
helps you spice up someone’s Holiday this year!
