Honey Almond Twist

Go ahead and pour another cup of coffee. These stunning pretzel-shaped loaves, topped with an almond-honey glaze, have a cinnamon filling that is great for a coffee break. The loaves freeze beautifully, too.

I had made this recipe for years, however, when I moved in 2000 I lost the little Pillsbury cookbook it was in. Glad to find it again and I made them at Christmas! Delicious...one for you and two to share with neighbors! This is a great recipe!
