tried and true.

This weeks recipe is what I made for my family and friends gift. I am not a baker so the idea of making cookies or any other treat was out of the question.  So this year I made cinnamon sugared almonds. They were delicious. If you want an easy and addictive treat that will make your house smell divine, then this is for you.

Cinnamon Sugar Almonds

- 1 1/2 c. sugar

- 3 Tbsp. cinnamon

- 1/8 tsp. salt

- 1 egg white

- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

- 3 1/2 c. whole raw almonds

Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt in one bowl and set aside. In another bowl whisk the egg white and vanilla together until foamy. Add the almonds to the egg white mixture. Coat the almonds in that. Then add the sugar cinnamon mix and stir together. Put the almonds in a crock pot on low for 2 hours. Stir the almonds every 25 minutes so they don't burn.

Pour almonds onto foil and let cool.

Enjoy!

MY NOTES: Matt and I definitely give these a 5! Beware they are addicting. Also you really need to watch them and make sure they don't burn in your crock pot. I have an insanely hot crock and the first batch I made was a fail. I burnt about half the batch. Other than that they are so super easy and delicious!
