My good friend and neighbor, Yda, who is an amazing cook, gave me this recipe. Her recipe uses only almonds, sweetener and egg whites.

Where do I get large bags of sliced almonds at a reasonable price?
You can purchase bags of sliced almonds at Trader Joe's or Costco. Their prices are reasonable, and they are also available online on Amazon Trader Joe's Raw Sliced Almonds
- Take advantage of the convenience and savings online.
My parchment paper is unbleached to avoid the toxins that are in bleached white parchment paper. I use a non-bleached parchment paper that I buy for 5.99 a roll in a local supermarket. I noticed that they sell the same brand online at Amazon for 4 rolls IF YOU CARE 100% Unbleached Silicone Parchment Paper, 70-Foot Roll (Pack of 4)
for $21.14.
