This recipe is from my friend Monique who says the recipe is courtesy of Canadian Living Holiday Baking.
They are soo good! I love to make up batches package in pretty jars or covered candy dishes as little gifts. If your family and friends like almonds, I think you will love these as much as we do.
With great thanks to Monique for sharing the recipe.
