Sugar and Spice Almonds

Submitted by PalatablePastime

"Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of? Maybe almonds, too!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 2 cups

ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup vegan sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 2 cups whole almonds
• 3 tablespoons light corn syrup

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, or pour a small amount of oil, and evenly spread with a paper towel.
3. In a small dish, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, set aside.
4. In another bowl, combine the almonds with the corn syrup until the almonds are evenly coated; sprinkle on the sugar, stirring to make sure it gets mixed in evenly.
5. Spread the coated almonds on the greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bubbly, and the almonds are browned; remove from oven.
6. Allow to cool on the baking sheet, stirring to prevent sticking and to separate the nuts.
7. Store in an airtight container, if they last that long!

These were great! I did them for the Mother's Day Banquet at our DD's church and we all loved them! Luckily there was just frankly too much food there for them to all get eaten, but what wonderful leftovers! Thanks Sue!

Super easy to do. I used my cast iron skillet and halved the recipe. Perfect with Toasted Almonds in Chile Oil for munchies on Christmas Eve. Thank you!

Not made yet but going to! The nuts in the pic are pecans though, but being called Almonds. I'm in the UK so maybe we call almonds pecans over here or is the photo wrong?

The only problem I encountered with this recipe was keeping enough on hand to put in lunch boxes this week! As soon as they came out of the oven, my family descended on them like a pack of wolves. So tasty and the house smelled terrific. Thanks for posting this keeper!
