Honey Crystal Almonds


These are SO good!! You HAVE to try them! I only had enough almonds to make 1/2 of a batch. It is probably a good thing, I could have eaten an entire batch myself. My boys LOVE almonds so I thought I'd whip this up for a nice after school snack. I had to get theirs bagged up right away so I wouldn't eat them all.

I found this recipe on an ad for California almonds.



Honey Crystal Almonds
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups whole natural almonds
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 T butter
  • 1 cup turbinado sugar

Directions: Spread almonds in a shallow pan. Place in a cold oven; turn oven to 350 F and roast 12-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well roasted. Over medium heat in medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to medium low, simmer 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Add almonds; simmer and stir for another 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the almonds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper(I used wax paper) or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the almonds in a single layer and cool slightly. To coat, toss almonds with sugar in a medium plastic food storage bag.

  3. Marisa, I found the sugar at my local grocery store near the other sugar and sweeteners. I haven't ever bought that kind of sugar before, but I LOVE it!! My husband told me that when he was in Guatemala that is the kind of sugar they ate.

  6. Thanks Amber:) I hope the girls at girls night enjoyed them. If I took them, I'd be secretly hoping that no one ate them so that I could take them home and eat them all;)
