Crock Pot Cinnamon Almonds




Looking for something to give your friends and neighbors during the holidays?  Try these cinnamon almonds.  They are delicious!  It was like eating candy and I couldn't stop eating them.  Hope there's some left for my friends and neighbors :-)

Crock Pot Cinnamon Almonds

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups almonds
1/8 cup water

In a bowl, mix together sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.  Set aside.
 
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until it begins to get a little frothy.  Stir in the almonds until they are well coated in the egg white and vanilla mixture.  Add the almonds to the cinnamon mixture and toss until completely coated.

Spray your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.  Cook the almonds on high for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.  After 2 hours, pour your water over the almond and mix well to make sure there are no clumps.

Reduce heat to low and cook for 1 more hour, again stirring every 20 minutes.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread the almonds to cool and dry on the paper.

**Your house is going to smell delicious and you'll be tempted to eat some almonds before they even cool.  I say go ahead!  They're delicious hot, too.  Guess you know who fell into temptation :-)
