Crunchy, sweet, and filling – a perfect snack or treat for your next party or gathering. They taste just like they came from the fair. But be careful, as they are addicting!

I must warn you: these toasted cinnamon almonds are addictive! They feature just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth, while the warm spiciness of the cinnamon makes them extra tasty! They are also made with a sugar alternative, so they do not cause a huge insulin spike! They also make perfect gifts for the holidays or as a hostess gift for parties.

Chef Tips:

We use the egg white only to allow the flavors to adhere to the nuts. It is important to strain off any excess egg white to ensure the almonds are sufficiently crisp.
