Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

My friend April shared this recipe with me: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cinnamon-Roasted-Almonds/

I made them and put them in small bags for my kids to hand out to resource teachers, bus driver, principals, etc, for Christmas.

It was a huge hit and the P.E. teacher asked me to give him the recipe immediately so that he could make them at home over the break.

The large bag of raw almonds at BJs was just the right amount to double this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 pound almonds (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat over to 225 (this is a change from the original recipe)

Put one egg white in a large bowl and beat until frothy and then add vanilla. Add almonds and coat.

In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Coat the almonds in the dry ingredients.

Spread the almonds on cookie sheets.  I use 3 cake pans. 

Bake for an hour, stirring every 15 mins.  If you are using dark pans, reduce the time by about 10 mins
