Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275.

Whisk the egg white until foamy. Toss in the almonds, coating thoroughly. Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt and cayenne. Sprinkle on to the wet nuts. Toss.

Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 25-35 minutes until the coating appears dry. Allow to cool on the baking pan. You may hear them crackle & pop a bit as they cool. Feel free to nibble on them hot. Yum.

Store for a couple of weeks in a sealed container or in the fridge.
