What you have here is a marvelous snack mix too! I made this as directed and it worked perfectly. I did lay the almond out on paper towels but found that really was not necessary. My kids are still munching on this. Just a nice snack without a lot of fuss or anything that can melt while traveling in the car or on the sidelines of a soccer practice. Made for your win in Summer Spectacular in the Cooking With Friends Tag Forum. :) Thanks Marra!! -
The combination of roasted almonds and cranberries was visually smashing as well as delicious...a perfect Christmas appetizer. I did drain the almonds on paper towels after roasting because I felt the amount of butter made the fingers too greasy when snacking...will decrease to 1/4 cup, or even less next time. A sprinkling of fleur de sel on the roasted nuts was divine. -
This was wonderful with the saltiness of the almonds and the sweetness of the cranberries. I used orange flavored cranberries. The 1/4 cup of butter is definitely the correct amount of butter to use. Any more would be too greasy. Thanks for a good, easy snack. -
I had a few cups of blanched almonds left from my holiday baking and thought this was a great use as a pre-Christmas dinner snack. The saltiness of the nuts (to my tastes) was a lovely contrast to the sweet tart flavor of the dried cranberries. I used the lesser amount of butter and still had a good amount of butter left in the pan after roasting, so use your judgment here as a little goes a long way. -
This is terrific. I've been eating a handful every time I walk by, all week. The combination of flavors is delicious. I agree with the earlier reviewer who suggested that the amount of butter was too generous. I agree...in fact, I used 1/4 cup and think it would have been fine with a couple of tablespoons. I shall definitely make this again...again and again! A week later: I have decided that the ease of this recipe ... and my apparent addiction to it :-) merits 5 stars. Lovely stuff.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
