I love almonds, and I didn’t think they could get better, but they do! This easy recipe for candied almonds might become your favorite way to enjoy almonds too! They’re deliciously sweet, and if you like salty and sweet together, add a little sea salt. These are great to serve anytime and ideal for special occasions.

Ingredients:

1 cup raw, unsalted almonds
¼ cup brown sugar
3-4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
optional, pinch of sea salt
optional, crushed coconut flakes (unsweetened)

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a small baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper (wax paper will not work). 

2. Use a small bowl to mix together the brown sugar and maple syrup.  Then stir in the almonds and optional coconut flakes.  Make sure they are completely coated with the brown sugar and maple syrup.  

3. Pour the nuts and sugary mixture onto the covered tray, and spread out into a single layer.  

4. Optional, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt evenly on top of the almonds for a sweet and savory treat.

5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the maple syrup and brown sugar is bubbling all over the almonds.  

6. Let cool completely before enjoying.
