honey roasted almonds.

In the spirit of DIY, I wanted to make something special to give to friends and co-workers this Christmas.  I've tried this honey roasted almond recipe a few times before and thought they would make the perfect edible gift.


You'll need:
- 2 c. whole almonds
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ground sea salt
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. water
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil

Spread almonds in a single layer on an ungreased baking pan.  Bake at 350 F for 12 - 15 minutes (don't preheat the oven first).

Mix together sugar and salt.

Bring honey, water, and oil to a boil over medium heat.  Add roasted almonds and stir until all liquid has been absorbed (about 10 minutes).  Immediately transfer to medium bowl and add sugar/salt mixture.  Spread on wax paper and allow to cool completely.

I put the finished product in these little jars that I found at the dollar store.

I also typed up some gift tags on an old typewriter and tied them on with ribbon for the finishing touch.

Cute. Delicious. Homemade!
