Equipment
- pan
- Baking Sheet/Tray
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds
- ¼ cup Sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon powder
- 3 to 4 tablespoon Water
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it ready.
- Measure the ingredients. If the almonds are a little old, then roast them in a pan for few minutes until they are aromatic. Cool them down to room temperature. I had bought some fresh almonds, so I skipped this step.
- In the same pan, add the sugar, cinnamon and water and mix.
- Heat the sugar in low to medium flame. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
- Once the sugar starts to boil, add the almonds to the pan.
- Keep stirring the mixture in low flame until all the moisture disappears and the sugar coats the almonds well.
- Once the almonds appear dry, turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet.
- Separate the clumps if there are any and then let the almonds cool down entirely. Store in an airtight container once they have cooled down entirely.

Notes
Expert tips
- Use good quality and fresh almonds. The flavor of the almonds really comes through and stale almonds ruin the whole recipe.
- I toast the nuts for few minutes if they are a little older.
- Let the candied almonds cool down well before storing. If stored a little too early, the nuts can become soggy.
