"I couldn't find a good recipe for lemon almonds, so i came up with this one. Its basically modified from an orange almond recipe I found online. You could probably easily substitute oranges in this recipe, i just haven't tried that yet. I suppose you could also swap out the nuts if you wanted, which is what I'm trying next! I love lemons and i love almonds, so I think these are delicious and addictive!"
