Cinnamon Almonds have an irresistible crunchy shell of vanilla-scented cinnamon and sugar.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
* 1/4 cup hot water
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1.5 cups whole toasted almonds

Preparation:

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon, sugar, and cream of tartar over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

3. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 246 degrees on a candy thermometer.

4. Once the candy is at the proper temperature, remove immediately from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the nuts all at once, and stir with a wooden spoon until they are completely coated with the sugar syrup. Continue to stir until the it becomes difficult to stir and the syrup turns opaque.

5. Quickly turn out onto the prepared baking sheet. Separate the nuts and allow them to cool and harden at room temperature. Nuts can be stored in an airtight Ziploc bag at room temperature for several weeks.

Have you every been to a ball game and got a whiff of the sweet smell of cinnamon roasted almonds??  I remember the first time I ate these delicious treats at my local mall.  Then I got some at my county fair.  In fact one time I was at Disney World and I could smell them cooking outside.  Ohhh how sweet that smell is!

Well, that was years ago.  After my first experience with cinnamon almonds, I never dreamed how they would affect my life.

My name is Crazy Pecan.  I have a friend named Jonny Almond.  He was the one who introduced me to candy coated nuts.  Years later I found  myself smelling these sweet little things every day.  Why??  Thought you would never ask.

Jonny Almond and I teamed up with a couple of other nuts.  Mr. Cashew and P-Nut joined us.  Now we make up one nutty family.   We call ourselves the Jonny Almond Nut Company.

In fact, you can find us everywhere.  Not only in the malls, county fairs, ball games and Disney World, now you can find us at your local convenience stores.  In fact recently, early 2010 our cinnamon roasted almonds landed in the Walgreens stores.
