...A great sweetened crunch of sliced almonds to top salads, squash soup, ice cream, desserts...or just as a sweet snack!

Cook 'til bubbly.  Stir in almonds 'til coated.  Spread on toaster pan and toast at 500 degrees for 3-5 min. or until almonds begin to turn brown, stirring occasionally if needed.  Remove from oven and spread out on wax paper or parchment to cool.
