Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams almonds
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Roast the almonds slightly on a hot dry pan. Keep stirring, make sure not to burn. Pour them into a container to wait for a moment.
  • Combine sugar and water in the hot pan. Wait for it to boil.
  • Add in the almonds. Keep stirring the mixture in a hot pan for some minutes.
  • The sugar will become thicker syrup consistency and then crystallize on the almonds.
  • Use a spatula to break up the crystallized sugar. The almonds are done now, but if you want glossy ones with even more caramel flavor, you can let the sugar melt again before the next step.
  • Pour the almonds on baking paper, sprinkle some cinnamon on top and let cool down before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. 
A small sprinkle of sea salt on top of the almonds also works great.
