Cuisine: amercian
Servings: 7 servings
- 1 cup (230g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (118ml) water
- 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 14 oz (262g) natural almonds
Prepare a cookie sheet by either lining with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
In a large nonstick sauce pan, combine the sugar, water, butter, vanilla and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil. Add in the almonds, and continue to boil while stirring constantly.
The mixture will go from a liquid to a thick syrup to the sugared mixture that sticks to the almonds in about 10-15 minutes.
Once the water has boiled out and you are left with just the sugary mixture, immediately pour the almonds out onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread the mixture out and allow it to cool.
Once the almonds are cool, break up the pieces and serve.
