Notes

Make Ahead: You can make these in advance and store in an airtight container for 1 week at room temperature, 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer.
Variations: Change up the flavor of your candied almonds by adding 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, adding 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or replacing the cinnamon with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
