Holiday Spiced Almonds
These Holiday Spiced Almonds are simply delicious!
I love that these beauties are gluten free, dairy free and only slightly sweet. We have enough sweet sweets this time of year, right? A little sweet and savory is what I love most!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and these sweet almonds will only make it that much more wonderful! Trust me, you have to make these and have them for your family and friends to munch on during holiday parties.

Here are a few more Christmas favorites!

They taste just like the candied almonds at the mall or ball games! SOOOO yummy!
Yum. These look so good!
This was my daughter’s one request this Christmas. My recipe is a little different – brown sugar instead of white with minced garlic and pepper. Gives them a fun little “kick” 🙂 Thanks for the blog – love it <3
Sarah: Sammi and I are so glad to hear you are enjoying the blog! We have you on our calendar for January, we want to do an interview with you about marriage 😉 Will be calling soon. I love your twist on spiced almonds, I will have to give that a try soon. -Sarah
Going to try to make these today! Yum 🙂
Hope they turned out for you Sis! Missing you this Christmas. Give Lukie hugs for us. We loved your JibJab video, you guys took the best one!!! -Sarah
These look so very yummy and something that I can even make! Lol
I needed just a little something more and wasn’t sure what it was. Now, I know, Holiday Spiced Almonds. They look delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Yay! You have found the missing holiday link 😉 Be sure to let us know how they turn out for you, Tammy! Merry Christmas to you!
Awesome recipe! I learned something new: use egg white to cover the almond. I never though of doing it that way.
Hi Anita! Thanks so much for stopping by. Yes, the egg whites work so well and the almonds are amazingly fresh and flavorful! Merry Christmas!
Great recipe, and I love the video! I’m trying my hand at videos too, but it’s been slow going. (Hard to overcome that shyness factor). THANK YOU for sharing with us on the Friday Frenzy link up, and we hope you’ll join us again this week!
April: Sammi feels the same way about videos 😉 It is a challenge for her because she doubts herself. But I have forced her to shoot some anyway and she is GREAT AT IT! Here are my thoughts about videoing as a blogger: People follow your blog because they want to know you….for who you are…..whatever that may be. And a video shows them a side of you that they cannot see in your writing. Your heart and passion come through in a special way on video. The great thing about youtube is it isn’t pefecttube or amazingtube or iamthebestatthistube…..it is YOUtube. Thinking of it that way gave me the confidence to give it a try and I hope it will encourage you too! -Sarah
oh I can’t wait to try these. Thanks for sharing.
Made these and they are delicious! I love your blog by the way. I have 3 girls all over the age of 18. Wish I had a web site like yours years ago! Keep up the good work and may God bless you both immensely!
Laura, your comment means so much to us! We are so glad you loved the almond recipe and have been following our blogging journey. Have a Merry Christmas and we hope to continue to provide inspirational, creative, and fun content for you!
