Comments
Wow, a honey roasted almond recipe that uses honey and NO SUGAR. Exactly what I was looking for. I made this and it was very good. I baked for 12 minutes, which is a bit longer than the recipe calls for. Also, I let the nuts cool completely on the parchment paper before removing. Otherwise the nuts stick together.
