Here is a easy replacement for honey-roasted almonds. These are great to keep on hand for cocktail parties, appetizers, friends who just drop by, or even for a quick snack. If you want to add some heat, you can add in some cayenne. These are so much better than store bought, you will never go back. Make a batch before your next game viewing party and watch how fast they go. Everyone loves these sweet and salty nuts.
