Gingerbread Spiced Almonds

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter with molasses, sugar, spices and salt.

Step 2

Stir to combine and continue to stir until sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

When mixture starts to bubble add nuts and stir until well coated.

Step 4

Turn nuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet, spread in a single layer, and bake at 300 until nuts are nicely toasted, about 20-30 minutes.

Step 5

Stir from time to time while baking and begin testing after 15 minutes or so (you don’t want the nuts to get too brown).

Step 6

Cool and break into pieces.

Step 7

Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
