Tips:

Use raw almonds for the best results. Roasted almonds will not absorb the syrup as well.
Toast the almonds before candying them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crispy.
Use a heavy saucepan for candying the almonds. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
Stir the almonds constantly while they are candying. This will help to ensure that they are evenly coated with the syrup.
When the almonds are finished candying, spread them out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Allow the almonds to cool completely before storing them.

Vanilla-cinnamon candied almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, gifts, or simply enjoying at home.
