We often don’t know what to bring along as a gift when we’re invited to someone’s home during the holidays. These caramel-coated almonds are always welcome, whether they’re served as an appetizer or with coffee. At home I usually serve them with cheese and fruit. Remember to wrap them in a cute bag or in a box with a nice bow, and include the recipe.
