As the lucky recipient of the delicious almonds, I can testify they are a real treat. I especially like that they are so portable, I stick a bag of them in my backpack when I set off for my urban hikes. They are such a special combo of healthy protein and just the right amount of chocolate.. Thank you for sharing the recipe, Maggie. I continue to be amazed at the good things you are able to produce with a slow cooker and instapot. I so enjoyed your last blog about entertaining in less than ideal circumstances-such an inspiration and a reminder about what is important. Merry, Merry Christmas to you and your family
