I found that the almonds got a little soggy after a few days. I would recommend storing them in an airtight container.

This snack mix is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I really enjoyed this snack mix. The sweetness of the honey and the saltiness of the pretzels balanced out the almond flavor perfectly.
