Hi,
What the slivered almonds are?

these are almonds in shape of sticks. Maybe because it would processed more easily when blending them? otherwise I guess whole/standard almonds would work too ?!

Slivered almonds are just sliced almonds, you can find them in your local grocery store in the baking goods section with things like shredded coconut. Sometimes it will be in the bulk food section as well. (Working in a grocery store is helpful sometimes haha)
Hope this helps!
