Tips & Warnings

You can make these up to 3 days in advance.
Freeze up to 1 month in advance, defrost overnight. Crisp up by placing in a 350F oven for three minutes.
To make curried almonds replace sugar, cayenne and rosemary with 1 Tbsp curry powder.
Anything coming out of the oven is going to be extremely hot, plan ahead with pot holders. Burns suck.
Wash hands for 20 seconds under hot water when handling raw eggs.
Eggs can be refrigerated for up to 5 weeks from the date stamped on the carton.
Leftover egg whites can be stored, tightly covered for up to 4 days.
Leftover yolks can be stored 2 days, in water for best results.
