Recipe: Crock Pot Cinnamon Sugar Almonds
| April 30, 2013 | Filled under Recipe |
Best.Thing.Ever.
Seriously. I made these for my sister’s wedding shower and was really glad there were extra so that I could keep munching on them!
Printable recipe is below, but here is how to make them!
By the way, I doubled this and it worked out just fine!
Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 3 Tbsp. cinnamon and 1/8 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
In another large bowl, combine 1 egg white, 2 tsp. vanilla and whisk.
Add almonds to egg mixture and stir gently to coat.
Add coated almonds to sugar mixture and toss until thoroughly coated.
Spray crock pot with cooking spray and add coated almonds. Cook on LOW for about 3 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. This is very important!
At the start of the last hour, add 1/8 cup-1/4 cup of water (Start with 1/8 cup and slowly add more if needed) and stir well.
Spread almonds onto wax paper or parchment, breaking up any large clumps.
Allow to cool and store in an air-tight container.

I’m loving the idea of making these in the crock pot. I wonder if I can make sugar substitutions?

I must make these! My man thinks crock pots are unnecessary, but this recipe should change his mind!
If these don’t change his mind, nothing will! :)
Yum- and in the Crockpot!! Perfect:) My husband will love these:) Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Found this @two girls and a party link up. Pin’d it! Clean eating but will try this soon!
Oooh! I can almost smell these thru my computer, lol! I found you over at Classy Cutter’s Spotlight Saturday and HAD to click – YUM! These would be a huge hit at our house and would make a fun teacher gift, wrapped up in cellophane with a cute ribbon! Thanks for sharing – pinning now! I hope you’re having a great weekend!

Yummy! I bet these make the house so good!
I make some spiced nuts around the Holidays, but always use the oven. This looks like a great idea and recipe. Never thought of using the crock pot. Visiting here from Mealtime Monday.
Thanks for posting it!

Dumb question but after tossing almonds in sugar mixture do you pour the almonds and remaining sugar mixture in crock pot or just the coated almonds?
Not a dumb question at all! Either way would work! I poured every last bit into the crock pot, just because I didn’t want to miss out on any sugary goodness! :)
I saw a recipe for something like this and wondered if they would turn out well. They look fantastic!
Thanks for dropping it off at the In and out of the Kitchen link party! I ca’t wait to see what you come up with next week!

These look so good! I love almonds!
These sure do sound great and easy to make. Pinned it! Thanks for linking up to Two Cup Tuesday on Pint Sized Baker.
DOes this recipe double well?
Absolutely! I doubled it when I made it! :)
Thanks! I went ahead and tried it just now…I’ll have to see how mine turn out doubled. I have had them just a single recipe and they are wonderful!
do you have to use raw almonds or do you think roasted ones would work
Hi Rachel – I’m not sure, I’ve only tried it with raw ones. It would probably work OK, but not sure how it would change the taste, since the roasted ones are pretty salty. Maybe the sweet/salty thing would work really well, who knows?! :)
Just made these and they are incredible!
Yay! I think I need to make them again soon!
These look delicious, Krysta! I’m thinking of all kinds of ways to use them like on salads, brownies, maybe even rice… Thanks for linking up at Saturday Night Fever. It’s nice to meet you!
How long ahead can you make this recipe. I want to give as Christmas gifts
What a great idea!! I’ve made them a week ahead for events, and as long as they are in an air tight container, they are fine.
I loved the look, sound and ease of this recipe. Made them yesterday but although cool now, they are stuck together and very sticky. what did I do wrong?
Hi Susan! I’ve never had them be sticky after they are done….maybe too much water got added? I do spread them out and break them up when I lay them out to cool, so there aren’t large clumps.
