Roasted almonds are paired with cinnamon, sugar and vanilla to make the perfect sweet and salty snack.  It will be hard to stop munching on these delicious candied nuts.

Cinnamon Vanilla Toasted Almonds Recipe that is great for any holiday or hostess gift. Also called, candied almonds.

I made these candied cinnamon vanilla toasted almonds a couple of weeks ago and they are a real winner!  They tasted just like what you get at the fairs/carnivals.  If you’re looking for something for your guests to snack on for Christmas or any of the holidays, this is your recipe idea right here.  These almonds are so easy and SO good that you won’t even believe it… and they taste just like some sort of gourmet candy.  They would also make a great hostess gift or bring them to your neighbors who will LOVE you for it!

I made these for some house guests who came to stay with us over Thanksgiving and they were quickly devoured…..like, in a matter of hours.  I sprinkled a teaspoon more of the brown sugar on top when these were still on the baking sheet to give them a little more covering and sweetness.  That step is completely optional, of course.

P.s.  Your house will still smell incredible while these are baking!
