Allergy Lovers Beer & Bacon Glazed Almonds

By west757

The inspiration for these almonds comes from my daughter, who suffers from major stomach issues and the famous Beer & Bacon Nuts. This recipe is designed to be gluten, lactose and dairy free.

Ingredients

• 1-cup brown sugar
• 4 slices thick cut bacon, chopped in small strips
• 1/3-cup Sorghum beer (gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups whole almonds
• 2 cups sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
