Ingredients
- 2 cups whole almonds
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon almond oil
Instructions
- Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.
- Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake almonds, stirring occasionally, until light tan and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes. The nuts will continue to cook after removing them from the oven.
- Meanwhile, mix sugar and salt together in a small bowl; sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar mixture into a large bowl.
- Stir honey, water, and almond oil together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add almonds; cook and stir until almonds have absorbed all the liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer coated almonds to the large bowl sprinkled with sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over almonds; toss to coat evenly.
- Spread almonds onto waxed paper to cool completely. Store at room temperature in a tightly covered container or resealable plastic bag.
- Vegetable oil can be substituted for almond oil.

Ughh amazing!!!! My family who normally hate sweet things LOVED THEM they are definitely a MUST TRY. I accidentally burnt my first batch and they were STILL GOOD my second batch is better. I had to buy costco Almonds so i can make more and more. I let them set together so i get some almomd clusters and its ssooo good
Great easy recipe there still cooking will give updates..
Very easy to make and delicious.
I used one cup of slivered almonds, cutting the recipe in half, I followed it exactly. Yum, yum!! I will use this in any recipe that calls for roasted almonds!
These taste good but they aren’t crunchy, they’re on the soft side and sticky even though I cooked them until the mositure was gone. And because of the stickiness, I dredged them in icing sugar which has helped ta bit to keep them separated. A couple of other reviewers said they improved over time. We’ll see.
These are delicious and I will definitely make again. Someone help me though…..I followed the recipe but they are one big clump of almonds. Very sticky. not sure what did I do wrong
This recipe is delicious…my family couldn’t even wait for them to cool… I used sea salt and pure cane sugar, but the ways u could add to this recipe is endless…going to try with cinnamon and then baklava style next…yummy!
Delicious! Fast and easy to make. My husband’s comment was that the coating was just right. Not like some he’s had that were too sweet.
I made this using pre sliced almonds and it turned out pretty good!
Almonds ended up candy coated which I should have guessed would happen. Sticky of course to begin with but once it hardened we’re really good. Will use them next Christmas as an add in to cookie trays. More of a dessert than the snack i was hoping for.
Very tasty sooo great!
It’s a great recipe. A little sticky. Would add a touch more salt! Definitely will make again
Easy to make. My 10 year old could not wait for them to cool off. He ate them up. I played around with the second batch and added my husband BBQ spices to the honey mix on the stove. I brought it to a soft boil so as not to burn/ bitter the spice mix. Turned out yummy, sweetness with a kick of spicy BBQ flavor…. I may need to make a third batch as these won’t last long either 😉
I used pecans and did add a pinch of cayenne. They are delicious just to munch on. However I use them in a salad with greens, red onion, feta cheese, and sliced pears. Everyone who tries them loves them!
I followed the recipe as is and they turned out awesome.
Really good. We let the almonds cook in the syrup until almost dry, then put back in the turned-off oven with the door ajar for about 15 minutes. Not too sticky after they were fully cooled. Might try adding some spices in the future, for a more flavored almond.
This was delicious; however, I exchanged the sugar for unrefined coconut sugar as it has a lower glycemic index than cane sugar and it has a light caramel flavor as well. It was amazing! I did notice I didn’t need as much sugar as was required, so next time I will use less.
Great and easy recipe. I used less granulated sugar, and they were perfect.
I doubled the recipe and used sliced almonds. It worked quite well except that they were noticeably salty. Next time I will probably halve the salt. I was using reduced sodium salt.
I used mix nuts and sprinkled sesame seeds. Turned out great!
Delicious, they go very quickly in my household, ie, me eating them, like a fiend. Question, why start the baking in a cold oven? Thanks Nick
