Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet, combine the coconut sugar, water, and honey over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble gently.

Step 4

Add the raw almonds to the skillet, and stir to ensure they are evenly coated with the syrup mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the almonds, and continue stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup thickens and coats the almonds nicely.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Transfer the almond mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to avoid clumping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until the almonds are crisp, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 9

Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will get crispier as they cool.

Step 10

Once cooled, break any large clusters apart and store the candied almonds in an airtight container.
