Bring on the holiday nostalgia with these homemade candied almonds! With notes of cinnamon and vanilla, these sweet, crunchy almonds will fill your home with the aroma of sugar and spices and remind you of Christmas shopping trips at the mall.
If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, you know that the mall was the place to hang out. Even before we could drive, our parents were dropping us off at the mall for several hours each weekend.
The Christmas season was always the best: the decorations, watching the families wait in line for photos with Santa, and the heavenly aroma of candied nuts wafting through the air.
There was usually an assortment of nuts to choose from, with candied pecans being the most popular and almonds coming in second. And they were always packaged in those cute little cones!
The smell of freshly roasted candied nuts never fails to unlock some core adolescent memories for me.
My dad loves any type of nut. Cashews, pecans, macadamias, he’ll pretty much nosh on anything you put in front of him, but almonds are probably his favorite.
So as you can imagine, these sugary, cinnamon almonds are his version of snack-time bliss.
Luckily, whether you still have a mall in your area or not, you can easily get your hands on those classic candied almonds by whipping them up at home. The process is really simple and as a little bonus, the sweet blend of vanilla and almonds will fill your house with an amazing scent.
Trust me, after one whiff of the cinnamon-and-vanilla goodness, your family will be hanging out in the kitchen just waiting for these babies to cool down enough to start eating them.
