FAQs
They will easily last for 4 weeks when stored in an airtight jar. You can store in the refrigerator as well but they will harden a bit there.
You sure can. But they add a certain crunch and are healthy. They also make the almonds look super pretty.
Brown sugar works equally well and so does coconut sugar.
Cinnamon goes really well. You can also go for chilli flakes instead of cayenne.
You can use maple syrup in place of honey for a vegan version.
This recipe works with walnuts, cashews and peanuts too.
