lil carb Holiday Roasted Almonds

Happy Holidays Everyone!  

*Watch me make these Yummy roasted Almonds!

I am posting this recipe today because I thought- everyone kinda has a handle on what they are cooking for Thanksgiving dinner by now- I think-! SO- why not post a recipe that you can make to give as gifts. Either a cute take away from your Thanksgiving festivities or a hostess gift or something you can make and store in your pantry for snacking. These almonds are the perfect thing!  The best part is that they are homemade and everyone loves a good homemade gift- bonus is that it is edible and those are my favorite kind of gifts! lol These almonds will make your house smell amazing and anyone receiving these will love them! Pack them in tuber ware, glass mason jars, or even cute little baggies tied with a ribbon or bow.
