"This recipe requires only sugar, cinnamon, and water to make a sweet coating for almonds."

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup water 1 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 2 cups whole almonds

DIRECTIONS:

1.

Combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil; add the almonds. Cook and stir the mixture until the liquid evaporates and leaves a syrup-like coating on the almonds. Pour the almonds onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Separate almonds using forks. Allow to cool about 15 minutes.
