Candied Almonds

Got a recipe off the Internet for candied almonds. Added my own twists & they turned out amazing!!

1 egg white
1 T water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine in large bowl with whisk until fluffy.

Add:
1 lb almonds
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Stir until completely coated. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Cook at 250 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Let cool, break apart and dust with a sprinkle if powdered sugar for depth.

Now a typical Anne-ism is to accidentally grab the wrong thing. I'll look at one item and grab the one next to it. Very frustrating!!!!! I try to check myself before carting but some times things slip by. In this case I ended up with dry roasted almonds instead of just almonds.

They have a very interesting taste that makes me even more curious what a plain almond would be like. Even yummier I would expect.

Store in an air tight container! I'm thinking I can use these as gifts too!
