Candied Almonds

I made these for neighbors this holiday season. They made my kitchen smell heavenly! I love them... too much.


1/2 cup Water

1 cup Sugar

1 Tbsp ground Cinnamon

2 cups Almonds, whole


Combine water, sugar, and cinnamon in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and add almonds. Cook and stir the mixture constantly until the liquid evaporates and leaves a syrup-like coating on the almonds. (This took a little while, but keeping watching and stirring - it changes fast!) Pour almonds onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Allow to cook 5 minutes, then seperate chunks with a fork. Cool completely and enjoy!
