Sea Salt & Cinnamon Candied Almonds

So, if you're anything like me winter time has you craving sweets. I could eat candy for days. When my self restraint is fully operational, I like to substitute healthier options for unhealthy cravings. These almonds are a nice compromise.

This took me 10 minutes to make using the dry caramel method. If you haven't done this before, the key is to start with a hot pan or pot and pay attention.

1 cup Almonds (roasted or raw)
2 Tbsp Corn syrup
4 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Sea Salt

Heat a sauce pan to medium-high. Add corn syrup, cinnamon, and sugar to the hot pan. Allow the sugar to dissolve and the mixture to boil. Once the colour starts to darken add the almonds and stir. Ensure all almonds are well coated. While still hot, spread the almonds out on parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt. Be sure to spread them out as much as possible, they will be difficult to separate when they cool.
