Smokey Seasoned Roasted Almonds
Almonds make GREAT snacks year round, but they are definitely a MUST HAVE on the table/counter around the Holidays! These are the perfect addition to a charcuterie board at any occasion and also make an easy gift to give to teachers, neighbors, coaches, friends, co-workers, ANYONE and EVERYONE for Christmas! Put them in a mason jar with a cute piece of fabric or even a cute little napkin on top with a little tag that says “we are NUTS about you” “MERRY CHRISTMAS” and you are all set! Or add them to a fun snack/charcuterie board basket gift!
