The smell alone of these decedent almonds could make me die a happy woman.  I wish I had a candle that smelled like roasted cinnamon almonds.  I need to work on that.  If you know of one that already exists be sure to let me know.  I would buy them in bulk.

I first fell in love with roasted cinnamon almonds walking along the streets of New York City. You can smell them at almost every corner and I bought more than enough while there many years ago. I experimented three different ways of making these, and this was by far the easiest and most tastiest way.  The only problem with making them is eating way to many of them without even realizing it.  They are so good fresh hot out of the oven.  Yum!

Have a great weekend everyone!  I’ll be back next week with more yummy treats!

Roasted Cinnamon Almonds

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups whole natural almonds

1. Spread the almonds out on a baking sheet and roast in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly roasted. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they do not burn. Stir occasionally.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the butter and the honey to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes. Add the almonds and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the almonds from the saucepan to the sugar mixture. Mix until the almonds are well coated.
4. Transfer the almonds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put under the broiler for just a few minutes, just until sugar melts and caramelizes.
5. Let cool and break apart if necessary.

Enjoy!
