The last low carb nut snack I made in the slow cooker was these delicious Cocoa Nuts. These Buffalo Almonds are a variation on the same theme – but instead of sweet cocoa this snack is loaded with buttery and spicy buffalo sauce flavors.
How to Make Low Carb Buffalo Almonds
Add melted butter, hot sauce and whole raw almonds to a slow cooker bowl. Note: If you're making this recipe in an Instant Pot, you can use the sauté function to melt the butter – which is super convenient! Just melt it first, then add the hot sauce and almond! Stir well to coat every nut in the sauce. Cook on low heat for 2 hours.
(Don't you just love this photo with the reflection of the buffalo almonds around the sides?!?)
Spread the almonds onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and sprinkle with a little salt. Allow the nuts to cool.
Enjoy the buttery and spicy nuts as a snack any time! They are super portable so are great for on the go! Store in an airtight container.

Love the recipe, but what’s a serving? How many servings in this recipe?

As per recipe card, there are 8 servings. With 10oz almonds that works out to 1¼ oz per serving - which is roughly equal to 28 almonds. Hope that helps!

Yum! My whole family loves Buffalo flavored things! We used to live just south of Buffalo, NY, where the whole "Buffalo" flavor began!

This is such a great idea! We run a pub themed school fundraiser in the spring. These would be perfect to serve at the bar.
