Barbecue Smokehouse Almonds

Barbecue Smokehouse Almonds are my recipe of the day in our newest blogging group: Sunday Funday! Wendy is hosting our first event and chose the theme of holiday nibbles.
I love having nuts around for the holidays! We used to buy the canned bbq smokehouse almonds all the time but then they disappeared. (Same thing happened with bbq Fritos that I also love).
But easy enough to still get the plain smoked almonds and add a bit of flavoring. I did and these were eaten in a flash.
Besides holiday fare and parties, these also make excellent food gifts. Wrapped up in a cannister with a nice bow, they will always be well received.
Who doesn’t like to find something to nibble on Christmas morning under the tree? We love it. Anything from nuts to popcorn, chocolates and caramels, brandied cherries and even…who remembers Hickory Farms in all the malls stacked high with tasty cheese?
I get a little misty eyed thinking about all the old time treats. At least with this recipe, it’s one we can still have for our own.

These would make a wonderful gift to pass out to teachers, coworkers, and guests who drop by.
We love spiced nuts and I can always use a new recipe for them. Thanks for sharing.
Those look dangerous – smoky sweet and spicy, the perfect combination. I’d have a hard time only eating a few. They look like they would be an amazing salad topper!
Those sounds absolutely delicious. Now to dig up some tomato powder.
Is there a way to soften the almonds and make them smoky and sweet. Us old folks can’t chew like we used to but we love that sweet and smoky flavor!?!
You might be able to try softening it up by substituting peanuts.
