Love the blue cheese. Use a good quality blue cheese and they will knock your socks off.

The only caution I would add is to check for taste before adding salt. Sometimes blue cheese is salty enough and additional salt is not needed.

Candied Almonds – A Delicious Treat

These Candied Almonds are deadly, can’t keep my hands off them!! Easy, pretty, and delicious. Glazed almonds are a lovely addition to Christmas baskets or for a hostess gift.

 

I’ve always bought candied almonds at the mall around Christmas time (who can resist that heavenly smell?!) But now I can have them year-round.

There goes my diet!!!

Candied almonds are delicious on their own as a sweet snack, but even better when you use them as an ingredient for other goodies!

You can dip glazed almonds in chocolate for a really good treat. Or chop them up and add them to your favorite chocolate fudge recipe.

You can also use them in almost any type of homemade candy bars. I love mixing them in with bar cookies!

Need something crunchy to top a salad, sundae, or waffle? Candied almonds to the rescue!

One hint that makes cleanup so much easier…use parchment paper to line the baking pan.
