On Saturday I smoked 12 lbs of almonds of four different ways.

I followed recipes all from this forum.

First left to right is
just salted almonds
then
honey, brown sugar and salt





then left to right is
butter, worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, dry mustard, granulated garlic, wasabi, sea salt
then on the right
egg whites, whole blanched almonds, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, chili powder, cumin, salt, cayenne

You're nuts (someone had to)! They look great, now for the review????
What did you like the mostest?

[Chukha-Trok]

Now that they have cooled and set over night they are all great!!

the favorite is the

egg whites, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, chili powder, cumin, salt, cayenne coated ones.

2nd would go to the just plain salt cause all the flavoring comes from the smoke.
