Absolutely killer. Of all we made for Thanksgiving, this was hands down the fave. Easy to put together. Make a few days before serving to allow the coating to dry out and set. Really good.

Just made these using ingredients listed except for the mace and I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, added 1/4 tsp of red pepper and extra cup of almonds. The taste is great, however the consistency was more like sticky candy brittle. I believe one egg white and one tablespoon of water would have been plenty of liquid.
