Oh, mo, goodness!! These are delicious! I used 1/2 almonds and 1/2 pecans, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I am supposed to take them to a party tonight, I hope there are some left. I can't stay out of them!
these were awesome! I decreased the amount of sugar to 1 cup brown and 1/4 cup white, and I found them to be plenty sweet. Even my toddler loved them! Very easy and tasty
These are yummy!! I have only ever used cashews, not almonds but i am sure you could use any kind of nut. It is a great way to use up leftover eggwhites after making custard :-)They go deliciously crunchy, with just a touch of cinnamon flavour. I usually whisk all ingredients except the nuts together in a large bowl then add the nuts last and mix the coating through. Highly recommended, would make a great gift, i haven't actually given any away yet, coz i'm too selfish, i want to keep them all for myself.
they are super good, raw almonds take some getting used too so this recipe made them more than bearable!!
followed recipe exactly... coating came out perfect.. everything stayed in place even when packaged and not sticky at all. flavor is very good.. this will be a fun base recipe to play around with flavors to suit individual taste.. as written is definitely a hit with everyone. first batch was gone very quickly.
I made this recipe exactly as stated and they turned out amazing!! I had to bring half of them in to work so I wouldn't eat the whole batch, just most of it! My son loves getting these at the ball park or mall. He was a fan, especially when they came out of the oven. This will be a regular treat for us!
I made a similar recipe a few weeks ago in a crock pot, and the flavor was good but the coating texture was not great. Loved this recipe! The flavor is perfect and the low and slow baking time with minimal "babysitting" to stir created almonds that easily separated (what didn't happen in the crockpot). I used a silpat on my baking sheet and was glad because the sugary crumbs that baked on came off easily. I recommend this or parchment, or if you don't have either, let your baking sheet sit in water for awhile to dissolve the sugar, saving lots of dishwashing work. My husband loves this recipe - even my "I hate almonds" 9 year old daughter can't keep her hand out of the container! These are great warm - and seem to be getting better as they cool. I totally recommend this recipe - simple enough for a novice cook!
Everyone loves these! I give them out as gifts every Christmas! Cannot go wrong with these.
Definitely take the advice and double the coating. Myself, the next time i make it i will also double (quadruple) the cinnamon. All said and done, they might not be gorgeous, but they're delicious.
Delicious & Easy! I had to 1/2 the ingredients because I didn't have 5 cups of almonds BUT they still turned out great! Will def make again! :)
good stuff! kitchen smells great! just made a batch and they turned out great! followed the suggestion to cut the white sugar down to 1/4 cup and probably will go up to 1/2 cup for next batch :o) definitely use parchment paper other wise your gonna waste a ton of time to clean up the pan/sheet. thanx for helping make raw/unsalted almonds delicious:o)
So yummy. These almonds remind me of Christmas time in the mall. Can’t stop eating them!
Great recipe! I used the same recipe for cashews, and they were amazing. Everyone asked for more. Cashews take a bit longer to crisp up, though. It was more like 90 minutes, and I stirred every 10 minutes.
I used my hand mixer to really whip the egg whites and vanilla. Then did all the rest of the recipe as directed. I didn't want to heat my kitchen so I cooked them at 200 degrees for the recommended time on my grill! Wow! These are wonderful and my friends and family love them! Thanks for the great recipe.
I made this exactly to recipe other than that I only had Mexican vanilla in the house. I made three batches total. The first batch was very good but I was lacking enough cinnamon flavoring for my liking so the next two batches I used a generous tablespoon of cinnamon and a tad more salt. I suggest to take a pinch of the sugar mixture before you put it on the almonds and adjust to your personal liking. It’s hard to leave them alone while roasting them. I used a flat cast iron griddle, it worked great but I would spray it next time even though I used parchment. I had too many almonds for my pan so I struggled when stirring. I recommend a full size cookie sheet. I found a 25 ounce bag of raw natural almonds at Walmart for $10 and used one bag per batch. I recommend a full size cookie sheet. I can’t help but wonder if it would be easier to cover the original cookie sheet with another cookie sheet and flip it upside down rather than stirring. I’m keeping the crumbs for my toast in the morning or oatmeal. Enjoy!
I made the glaze exactly as described but put it on pecans (because that’s what I had on hand). It was fantastic. Best candied nut recipe I’ve ever made. That tiny bit of salt really enhances the sweetness!
I just made a batch of these. I used pecans rather than almonds and cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup. They took an hour and 45 minutes to dry out completely and they are delicious! So easy to make too. The perfect homemade gift for my co-workers.
Great recipe! Absolutely delicious and easy to make. My family loves this. Will be trying it out with other nuts as I only had almonds today.
Best recipe!! No changes necessary, it’s right on. I do prefer using roasted sea-salted almonds rather than natural because it gives a more complex flavor. I omit the salt in the recipe when I do this. This is a favorite treat at the holidays!!
I am a clutz , but this went together easily. I put it all on one pan, would use 2 next time because I knocked so many out of the pan while trying to stir them. They are VERY GOOD.
Excellent!! Fast, easy —everyone loved!!! Nice little snack gift to give away at Xmas
These turned out great! I had just tried another recipe that was a huge flop and so figured I would give it one more chance for cinnamon almonds and I'm glad I did! Super easy and everyone loved them
I made these yesterday, and they are yummy! If will probably make them again, and when I do, I will add a little more cinnamon and also a little more salt, to suite my taste.
Followed the recipe as directed. Took them to our neighborhood card club and boy were they a hit!!
Followed the recipe exactly. Everyone said that they are better than the ones that you get at a fair, etc. Ate them way too quickly.
Amazing! I followed exactly. And it’s perfect. I added a hint of allspice just for a holiday aroma and its phenomenal!
I made it exactly like the recipe. It turned out amazing. I will definitely make these for my family and as gifts.
What a great recipe! I reduced white sugar to 1/2 Cup and used 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. For the rest I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.
Wow! These are delicious, and so easy to make. I added a little more salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. You definitely should line your cookie sheet, the largest one you have, with parchment paper, because they do stick. It took the full hour and 15 minutes for the nuts to get dry enough to remove them from the oven and start the cooling process. I will be making these again. Now I need to find a recipe for a spicy, non-sweet version of these.
Excellent!!!! So quick and easy! Will definitely make again and again!! Cannot believe how good this turned out!
I doubled the egg white mixture and only used brown sugar. Omitted the white sugar as we don't like things too sweet. Made two batches and this recipe was completely devoured in a few days. Also, is great for gifting in small mason jars with ribbon.
Loved this recipe! I did however cup back on the sugar. I only used 1/2 cup of the white sugar and the full cup of the brown sugar. I also used both almonds and pecans. Next time I'll either use 6 cups of nuts or cut back some on the brown sugar. However, with that this recipes rocks!
Followed the recipe to a T and my house smells delish and our tastebuds are happy!
I have made these almonds a bunch of times and love them. But the last time I made them I forgot to add the vanilla and I think I like them even more. This is a recipe you can do your own thing with as far flavor.
Made recipe as stated except I only had salted almonds. So I left the salt out. Turned out perfect and they taste just like the ones you get at the county fair.
Delicious and dangerously addictive. I use the KitchenAid whisk to beat up the egg whites before mixing. Will definitely make again!
Turned out great. The next day I tossed a few handfuls in my air fryer just to crunch them up a bit more. My husband and children ate them all up!
Delicious and easy to make. I did cut the white sugar in half and it still turned out delicious. I made a large batch and gave them away as Christmas gifts. I received lots of positive comments. I also made a batch with pecans and that turned out to be a great decision. I will make these again!
What an easy recipe to follow and a fabulous outcome. We ended up making enough for us and to give to our neighbors for a homemade holiday gift. Will definitely make again.
Made recipe as written and it was awesome! Everyone I shared them with said they were delicious. Tasted just like the ones they used to have at the mall at Christmas time. And my house smelled delicious!
I make these every year, for Christmas, when I travel to New Zealand, and go camping. EVERYONE loves these. so easy to make. No need anymore to buy from festival vendors. these are waaaaay better!! Plus they are easy to make and you have the majority of supplies on hand. try them. you'll LOVE them.
