I was determined to provide the flavor we love, with a whole lot less sugar. The fourth time was the charm and we are thrilled with these! I add the highest amount of cayenne to the batch when I make these. If you are leery of making them too spicy, start with ¼ teaspoon and add more gradually. Mix the sugar, salt and cayenne together and taste just a bit of the mixture.
Gradually increase the cayenne, about ¼ teaspoon at a time. (Just a note: The sugar can’t be reduced much lower without compromising the recipe. The sugar helps everything stick to the almonds.)
