I always like smoking almonds. Usually I do honey brown sugar almonds but have been wanting to make some spicy ones lately. So I made both.
A bunch of almonds ready for the smoker
After smoking until toasted. I took half out and lightly coated in honey then dusted with brown sugar like usual. The other half got coated in Frank's Red Hot sauce and dusted with cayenne pepper
Then put them back in the smoker for a little bit longer. Here is a pic of the finished product
The spicey ones were just not quite as hot as I was looking for. After a couple handfulls you feel it on the back of your tongue and throat, but nothing terribly spicey. I guess I was a little to gentle with the cayenne.
