ALMOND RUSKS

Almond Rusks image

I grew up in Scandinavian community and enjoyed many Swedish treats as a child. This rusk recipe is one I've kept through the years, and it's become a favorite snack for my nieces and nephews. It is crunchy yet not too sweet; rusks are a delicious treat to take along on any outing! -Lucille Dunn, Alma Center, Wisconsin
