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.

To make candied almonds —

Mix brown sugar and maple syrup. Then stir in almonds (and coconut flakes, if you’d like). 

Next, pour the nuts and sugary mixture onto a parchment-lined baking tray.  

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

Bake until the maple syrup and brown sugar is bubbling. 

Let cool completely before enjoying.
