Very tasty! A Comfort Garnish! This is good topped on whipped cream that's on coffee. Make sure the almonds are completely cooled before processing. I did use half powdered sugar just because I ran out of regular sugar. Great on hot chocolate. Was good on the glass rim of my Caramel Apple Martini recipe #71483.
