Almond Rolls

Craving something almondy and a little extra? These rolls start with fluffy Hawaiian bread, brushed with almond syrup, filled with a rich almond mixture, and topped with golden, toasty almonds.

They come out of the oven gooey, crisp on top, and absolutely irresistible. No pastry skills required—just a love for all things almond.
