Cinnamon Sugared Almonds

If you are a regular here,you'd know my fascination for Cinnamon.I love Cinnamon and do not skip a chance to add it in a recipe.Of course the top favorite being these delectable Cinnamon rolls.I love the flavor and the earthiness of this spice and can go on and on singing praises for the same.

It was no wonder then when I came across this idea of pairing Cinnamon with nuts,I fell for it.A while back,during a party a friend brought along a bunch of candied nuts.I am not so much a nuts person,so believe me when I tell you,those nuts were damn addictive.Especially the almonds.I wanted to recreate it and searched for a recipe.

These sugared almonds are indeed a breeze to make and takes just under 20 minutes from start to finish.How cool is that?

As a kid,I used to relish sugared cashews which were made by making a sugar syrup first with strings and then nuts added to it which created a lovely sugar coating all around the cashews.This one is pretty similar,with less work and an added flavor of cinnamon.I hope you do try it out for your next party!
