Cinnamon and Sugar Toasted Almonds

I LOVE walking through the mall and smelling these DELICIOUS almonds! BUT I do NOT like spending 7 bucks on a little packet of these things! So, I figured, why not make them myself and have my house smelling SUPER delish? SUPER easy to do too! I got a big bucket of almonds for 10 bucks at Target and the rest of the ingredients I already had. SOOOOOO good!!!!!!!!! Infact, I am munching on these as I write this out! They are SUPER good warm, but also good at room temperature.



Beat the egg white until "frothy". I consider this "frothy"


Almonds covered in egg white and water mixture


Yum, look at all that cinnamon and sugar!!


Dump all that cinnamon and sugar goodness over the almonds


Lookin' good!


All covered with cinnamon and sugar...


Dump onto a greased baking sheet (or a very well seasoned Pampered Chef stone, like I did! :)) and put in the oven for an hour.....



YUMMY, just look at those almonds!!!


Cinnamon and Sugar Toasted Almonds
1 egg white
1 teaspoon cold water
3 1/4 cups almonds
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease jelly roll pan.
Lightly beat egg white, add cold water and beat until "frothy", but not stiff. Add nuts and stir until well coated.
Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon together and sprinkle over nuts. Toss to coat, spread evenly over prepared pan.
Bake 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes, or until nuts are golden.
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.


*I didn't toss these, I ended up stirring them. Next time I will toss them in my big bowl... I think either way would work just fine! Let me know what ya think!!!
