Fat Boy Rub Smoked Almonds 😋🔥

Crunchy. Smoky. Addictively bold. The perfect BBQ snack or cocktail companion.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups raw whole almonds

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 ½ tbsp Fat Boy Rub

• Optional: ½ tsp brown sugar for a touch of sweet heat

Instructions:

1. Prep the Almonds:
   In a mixing bowl, toss the almonds with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle in the Fat Boy Rub (and brown sugar if using) and toss again to coat thoroughly.

2. Smoke It:
   Spread almonds in a single layer on a wire rack or foil-lined baking sheet with holes (to allow smoke through).
   Smoke at 225°F for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for even roasting and flavor.

3. Cool & Crunch:
   Let almonds cool completely—they’ll crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight container (if you can stop snacking long enough to put them away).

🔥 Pro Tip: Try using hickory or pecan wood for that deep Southern BBQ vibe.

Perfect for tailgates, BBQ boards, or just showing off how snackin' should be done.
Warning: They disappear fast. 😎
