“Mom, how did whoever developed the English language come up with the word “crunchy”?”, my 13 year old asked.

We had just sat down to dinner as a family and this question launched a whole series of other questions from my kids. As we crunched on our tacos, we all began to guess how the word crunchy came about. Was it from the sound crunching on something makes in your mouth? Did someone just think crunchy was a fun word and it happened to be the next word in queue to use?

It was random and silly and exactly the kind of family dinner I love most! I feel like so often we get caught up in talking about the hum-drum of the day, that it’s nice to laugh and be silly instead. Honey Glazed Almonds Recipe from dineanddish.net

We never figured out the answer to Jacob’s question, but the conversation came up again when we were munching on these Honey Glazed Almonds. Crunchy is one word that describes this treat perfectly. Sweet, spicy and perfectly good for snacking and gifting are some other words to describe these tasty almonds.

This recipe was given to us from our friend Grace. She makes these Honey Glazed Almonds for Christmas gifts to hand out each holiday season and they are always a huge hit with the recipients. In fact, I’m pretty sure if she stopped giving them out, there would be a few protests among her friends. They are so so so good!

If you are trying to find a simple snack to give out to your friends this holiday season, this Honey Glazed Almonds recipe is a perfect choice.  Gingerbread Spiced Nuts, Whisky Honey Toasted Walnuts, and Rosemary and Garlic Slow Roasted Almonds would be great options too! Enjoy and happy crunching!

    These look super addicting. Dressed up nuts make a great little gift for co-workers or teachers, especially if they’re as easy to make as these are.
