How do I best store these?Â
How long will they stay fresh?Â
You can store these in a Tupperware and leave the tupperware out on the counter for a week!
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.
Love the idea to add salt like that. SO glad you love them!
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.
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.
Great tip! Thank you!
Okay! I cheated! I couldn’t wait to sample and hubby sampled too!! WONDERFUL! I will be making them again! Thanks!!!!
Oh that makes me so happy to hear! These are a favorite of mine!

These look delish! How long will they keep fresh stored in an airtight container?
