How to Make Candied Almonds

Ingredients

• 2 cups almonds
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Spread the almonds out on a shallow pan and place in a cold oven.
3. Turn the oven to 350ºF and roast for 12-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them to make sure they do not burn. Stir occasionally until well roasted.
4. Boil the honey and butter together in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the almonds to the pot. Simmer and stir for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and transfer the almonds onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Spread the almonds in a single layer to cool slightly.
7. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and toss the almonds in it. With a slotted spoon, transfer the almonds into a container for consumption.
