Made these candied almonds for a little hostess gift - I've never made them before and they turned out just like the warm ones I get at hockey games (or the mall). I'm not a huge nut lover in things, like baked goods or salads, but nibbling these sweet and salty almonds is hard to resist; and I wish I had a smell button so you could experience how great my kitchen smelled afterwards!
I actually just googled which is correct in the above sentence - smelled or smelt! Either works, fyi, but smelt is more used primarily in British english...fun fact hahaha.
Now you gotta make these almonds!
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 t. cinnamon
- 1/4 t. nutmeg
- Himalayan sea salt (flakes or coarse)
Instructions:
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray - or use a silicon mat instead which is what I did. Set aside.
In a medium nonstick saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and heat on medium-high, Stir until sugar dissolves then bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it's boiling add the almonds and reduce the heat to medium. Stir frequently until the sugar crystallizes around the almonds, it took me about 10 minutes.
