Note

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

For a vegan version, ensure the honey is substituted with agave nectar or maple syrup if strict vegan dietary requirements are needed, though the original recipe lists honey.

You can add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the sugar mixture for a flavor variation.

Make sure to spread the almonds in a single layer while cooling to prevent them from sticking together.
