Getting into the holiday spirit a bit around here and I wanted to serve up a tasty treat. I honestly haven’t done any holiday baking this year – and I usually do so much. These are great to leave out for a snack or to send as a gift.
Ingredients:
1 pound plain whole almonds
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup water
In a large skillet over medium high heat combine the water and sugar. Dissolve the sugar completely and add the cinnamon. Stir in the almonds. Occasionally stir and the sugar will start to crystallize. Will take about 10-15 minutes. Let them cool a bit before serving – I do prefer them warm myself!
I make roasted almonds with honey and cinnamon. Will try this variation with the next batch!
That sounds fantastic too! I’ll have to try with honey next time.
These look so good. And so simple. I haven’t done much baking either, and I normally do. So these are a good last minute alternative. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks! I’m thinking of making up another batch for some simple gifts.
I made these tasty almonds, my friend & they were divine,…mmmmmmm! 🙂 xxx
I’m glad you enjoyed them 🙂
