CROCK POT CINNAMON ALMONDS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Mix together in a large bowl sugars, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl with a whisk, mix together the egg white and vanilla until it is frothy. Add the almonds and coat thoroughly. This will help the mixture stick to the almonds during the cooking process. Prepare your slow cooker by spraying it with cooking spray. I used a 4 quart. Add the cinnamon almond mixture to the almonds and turn it to low. Stir until the cinnamon sugar mixture is coated well on the almonds. Be prepared for your house to smell amazing! You want to cook for about 3 to 4 hours. Mine took about 3. Stirring every 20 minutes. In the very last hour, add 1/4 cup water and stir well. This will ensure a crunchy coating and help the mixture to harden. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the almonds onto the sheet to cool. The almonds should be pretty sticky so be sure to separate them the best that you can and let them cool! *Update: There is a lot of sugar left over in this. You can reduce the sugar to probably about 1 cup of each and only putting about an 1/8 cup of water. I am going to be testing it out this week. Also your almonds will be very dark and clump together. Just spread them out and try to unclump them as best as possible and let them cool.

Tips:
- Choose the right almonds: Use raw, blanched almonds for the best results. Blanching removes the skins, making the almonds more tender and easier to coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds before coating them in the cinnamon sugar mixture brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is the easiest way to make candied almonds. Simply add the almonds, cinnamon sugar mixture, and water to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the almonds are coated in a thick, sticky glaze.
- Stir the almonds occasionally: Stirring the almonds occasionally during cooking helps to prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a candy thermometer: If you want to be precise, you can use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the glaze. The glaze should reach a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit before it is ready.
- Let the almonds cool: Once the almonds are cooked, let them cool completely before serving. This will help the glaze to harden and set.
- Store the almonds in an airtight container: Candied almonds can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Candied almonds are a delicious and easy snack that can be made in a slow cooker. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give candied almonds a try!
