crock candied almonds

every single time i go to canton to shop...i have to buy those cinnamon/sugar nuts...they are sooo good....i like the pecans and almonds. so. i found a recipe to make them myself.

o.my.gosh.

SO AMAZING.

so here it is!

Crock Candied Almonds

1 cup sugar

(recipe called for 1 1/2 cups, but 1 cup would be plenty!)

1 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 T cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

1 egg white

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups almonds (or other nut)

1/4 cup water

Mix sugars, cinnamon and salt and set aside. In separate bowl whisk egg white and vanilla until its frothy. Add almonds and make sure they are thoroughly coated. Add sugar mix and toss well.

Spray a 4 qt. crockpot and put in almonds

Cook on low for 3 hours...stirring every 30 min.

Add the water and stir...cook one more hour...stir every 30 min.

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and pour almonds on that. Spread them out...this is what it will look like:

With in the hour, they will harden and you just break them apart and place in an airtight container.

This would be great for snacks for teachers!! YUM.
