The other day I was in the mall and I smelled such a wonderful smell, I had to find it! The cinnamon and sugar in the air was almost too much to take. It was the cinnamon nut vendor! You know how those smell, right? Then I saw the price. Worth it, yes…but pricey. So I started digging for a way to make them at home. I found one! And you do it in the CROCK POT! I made them…and I think I could sell them if I set up a cart with NO PROBLEM. I won’t do that, but I WILL give them away for GREAT little Christmas gifts!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 Tbs cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4.5 cups raw almonds
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
-
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, add the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together.
-
In another large bowl, add the egg white and vanilla and whisk until frothy.
-
Pour the almonds in the egg mixture and toss them around to coat thoroughly.
-
Pour the coated almonds into the sugar mixture and toss to coat.
-
Pour the entire mixture into the slow cooker and turn to low.
-
Cook for 3-3.5 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. (It will look like not much is happening for a long time but your house will smell good!)
-
After 3 hours, pour in 2 Tablespoons of water and stir well. If they look dry, add another 1 Tablespoon of water. (This is going to make the crunchy coating and things will start looking right.)
-
Replace cover & cook for another 20-30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
When done, pour the almonds onto the prepared baking sheet and separate any that stuck together. Let them cool slightly to harden then enjoy!
Store in air-tight container and/or bag for fantastic Christmas gifts!
