Tis' the season for Cinnamon Sugar Almonds and they are SO worth the bake!

I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for some time, but I drop the ball A LOT during this time of year. We tend to have holiday parties every weekend in December, plus with personal baking, I just can’t get my crap together. In all honesty, I kinda have this issue year-round. 😉

When it comes to these delicious homemade almonds there are three different ways you can make them: your oven, your cooktop, or your slow cooker. These babies are made via the cooktop.

I am against slow cooking of most things (not this Monster Mash Crockpot Candy) because I don’t particularly like doing anything slowly. I also skipped the oven version because flipping almonds on a baking sheet sounds horrible to me.

So, cooktop it is.

Four Reasons You Should Bake Cinnamon Sugar Almonds

1. They are easier than you may think. Heat and stir until all the liquid evaporates and the sugar crystallizes onto the almonds. Done.

2. They make a wonderful holiday gift. Tasty homemade cinnamon-sugary almonds in a mason jar because everything is awesome when it's in a mason jar; you really can’t go wrong.

3. They smell absolutely divine! I promise you, you’ll never smell anything more wonderful than this. It’s absolutely the BEST smell ever!

4. They taste awesome sauce! I mean, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and whole raw almonds. Enough said.

Cinnamon Sugar Almonds, the perfect way to take a healthy snack and turn it into a delightful holiday (or anytime) dessert. 🙂
