Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds are an easy edible gift you can whip up if you find yourself without a gift last minute. Ask me how I know!
I was doing a deep dive on Shutterbean last week, and one of the things that brought a lot of traffic to my website when I first started was sharing all of my favorite things from Trader Joe’s for the whole month of November 2007. There are a lot of things that were on that list that don’t exist there anymore. Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds used to be a staple. They brought it back for a bit, and they’re gone now. Another sigh…
If you miss them as I do, here’s your chance to make your own. It’s probably cheaper to as well!
Ingredients involved:
Stir the cinnamon, sugar, and salt together. Set aside.
Whip your egg white with a little water. You want it frothy like so.
Toss the cinnamon sugar in and stir well!
Spread out on a prepared baking sheet.
Stir a bunch of times while baking. TADA.
Let cool and wrap them up!
This recipe gave me 5 portions.
Happy gifting/snacking/holidays!
