Wasabi Almonds

This are my favorite snack to bring on vacation, aside from homemade beef jerky of course (see my beef jerky section), but normally i purchase the Archer Farms brand from target, but with the prices steadily rising i wanted to make my own. So these were definitely on my "to try" list. Not only do you get more for your money, but they taste like the Archer Farms version and are so worth the small amount of time to make. So instead of a yearly treat, they have become a staple.
