This just didn't work for me. It ended up as almonds baked with a coating that tasted and smelled like burnt tires.

Sharon what can I say, finally got downstairs, and tonight our town usually does a middle of July fireworks show here, well tonight was the night, and these Fantastic, Great Almonds were the feature with us here. Loved the ginger, and zest flavors here. Got to make again !! A wonderful snack. Made for Holiday Tag.

Was looking for a recipe for nuts that wasn't all 'sweet' or 'brittle-like' & this one fit the bill nicely! Of course I liked the inclusion of zest, but the soy & garlic were a great combo, too! This one goes on my list of things to make during Yule! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]
