Hate to give up my secret. But it is real simple I buy roasted and salted almonds mix a 4 0z bottle of wrights liquid smoke and a 12oz bottle of soy sauce, put in a spray bottle. Put 3# almonds in a large bowl and spray and mix until almond are well coated, spread on two cookie sheets and put in oven at 200 for 20 min, take out and mix them around and put back in oven until moisture is gone. A little trial and error until you get the right dryness, works for me. Wonderful brand almonds worked the best if you can find them. Sams used to carry them but they dont anymore. Good luck and good snacking.
