This is a delicious and easy stove-top Cinnamon Candied Almonds Recipe that smells amazing and tastes delicious! They make a great appetizer and are perfect as a gift to enjoy for the holidays. These are yummy as a salad topping too.

This is a small batch recipe and fills about 1 ½ (8 oz sized) canning jars.

There are many ways to make cinnamon candied almonds including roasting, and slow cooking in a crockpot, but these stove-top almonds come together the quickest without losing any of that incredible smell or taste.

And the best part is, you can make these almonds right at home any time you want and for far less expense than buying a bag while out Christmas shopping at the mall.

I have to admit, I’m snacking on these as I write this post because they are addicting!

How to make homemade Cinnamon Candied Almonds:

Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Click here for a medium sauce pan.

Bring the sugar and cinnamon mixture to a boil.

Pour in the almonds and lower the heat to medium-low.

Cook and stir the almond mixture constantly, about 15 minutes, until all the liquid evaporates and leaves a crystallized coating on the almonds. The time may vary but keep going until the sticky syrup has turned into a sugary powdered consistency. Pay attention as it happens really fast right at the end.

Then quickly remove the candied almonds from heat and pour them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Immediately separate the candied almonds using two forks.

Allow the almonds to cool about 15 minutes.
