1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Can you explain “Blanched Whole Almonds” process? Do you mean soak them in water or oil?
They are just a type of almond you buy. You’ll see them in the market – they don’t have skins. But you can easily just use regular almonds. I’ve made this recipe with them before and it still tastes great, just a little less smooth. http://amzn.to/2jWsSbU
