Cinnamon Sugared Almonds: these cinnamon sugar almonds are a delicious sweet and crunchy treat, easy to make and goes quickly!
Cinnamon Sugared Almonds
This recipe is requested every holiday season. My brother loves to get sugared almonds at the country fair and this recipe comes together so quickly you don’t have to wait for the fair to roll around to enjoy them. As delicious these cinnamon sugared almonds are to eat they make your house smell just as amazing.
Warm Treat with a Sweet Crunch
These nuts taste delicious warm but once they cool they have a fun crunch when the cinnamon sugar mixture hardens. Once the nuts are completely cool you can easily pack these nuts in some decorative tins or clear baking bags for a fun yummy gift idea.
How to store candied almonds
Once the almonds are completely cooled you can store them in an airtight container for up to one week. My family typically gobbles them up before that time is up 🙂
