Purim Basket Treat Pt. II - Candied Cinnamon & Sugar Almonds
Another Purim or Hadassah meeting treat: candied cinnamon and sugar almonds.
Do not ... I repeat, DO NOT taste any, not even to see if they are done. Just package them up in really pretty gift packs, and do it fast before you weaken. Make them and get them out of the house. They are like crack. You will be unable to restrain yourself from eating the entire batch, stopping only occasionally to breathe (and to lick your fingers).
I found the original recipe at Mel's Kitchen Cafe, but unlike most of the recipes I steal adjust, there was no need to make any changes. If you can't find unsalted almonds, use the salted kind and omit the added salt.
Sorry, no photos this time, unless you visit the original source.
