I tried this recipe and the crisps didn't turn out well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These crisps are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I actually really liked these crisps. The coffee flavor is not overpowering and it pairs well with the almond.
