  1. These are delicious! Not too sweet, but just right for my taste. The maple syrup coats the almonds very well, so the cinnamon sticks. I did sprinkle on a little coarse salt. I’ve been trying a number of recipes from the web; these are my favorite.5 stars

  2. I have such a terrible sweet tooth that I had to add more maple syrup. I also tried using Pumpkin pie seasoning rather than just cinnamon and nutmeg, it’s not that much different but good.3 stars

  3. Absolutely delicious! I would recommend taking them off the parchment paper before they cool down so the paper doesn’t stick so much to the almonds and leave you with almonds with bits of parchment paper stuck to them. Other than that it’s a great recipe.5 stars

  4. Okay! I cheated! I couldn’t wait to sample and hubby sampled too!! WONDERFUL! I will be making them again! Thanks!!!!5 stars

  5. Just made them for the first time and boy!!!!! Does the house smell good!! They are cooling and since I had the dreaded colonoscopy this morning, I don’t care try them!

    I can’t wait!

  6. I know this is from a couple years ago, but just wanted to say I love this recipe! Such a good way to satisfy a sweet craving5 stars
