Every once in awhile I get an idea that is beyond amazing. This particular idea came about nine months ago while I was planning my editorial calendar and the chocolate dipped almond footballs I was planning to make for football season. But my mind started thinking about all the other things that could be done with almonds and then it hit me like a bolt of lightning.
Pumpkin Spice Almonds!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of vanilla almond bark
- 1 jar pumpkin pie spice
- 1 pound whole, raw almonds
- orange gel coloring, optional
- microwave-safe bowl
- silicone spatula
- silpat
- dipping tools
Directions:
- Put half the vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (and optional gel coloring) over the bark.
- Heat in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Stir between heats.
- Drop in about half of the almonds into the heated bark mixture.
- Using the spatula, gently toss them to get a good coat on them.
- With the oval-shaped dipping tool, pull the covered almonds out of the bark and put them on the silpat to harden.
- Make as many pumpkin spice almonds as you can stand and then make a few more!
- Serve and enjoy!
I made the first batch of pumpkin spice almonds while my husband was at work. When he got home, I asked if he’d hold a zippered bag open so I could funnel the almonds in. He couldn’t help but snag a few! Then he agreed that my idea for pumpkin pie almonds (as he calls them) was out of this world. And while these almonds aren’t beautiful, they really are delicious!
