Candied Almonds
I am one who enjoys making the tried and true recipes, but I also enjoy making recipes of something that I would not normally think of. There are certain things I see in a grocery store or try at a restaurant and wonder “can I make that at home?” Typically I try and it’s an epic fail. For instance, I LOVE Qdoba’s queso, and I’ve tried copycat recipes, but I just can’t seem to make a good copycat of it. I don’t know if you ever have the strange desire to try and replicate restaurant or store-bought food, but I do!
One food that I have always loved are candied pecans and almonds. I’ve made candied pecans in the past, but I had never tried candied almonds. I have seen them in the stores, fairs, or markets, but I have never attempted to make them myself. I had a craving and finally tried to give them a whirl. I must say I completely “unhealthetized” (like my new word?) a wholesome food, but hey, it was worth every minute and every bite!
These candied almonds were incredible and I am going to have a hard time NOT purchasing almonds every week – not to eat them whole, but to eat the unhealthy version. This was definitely a copycat market and fair food I am glad I tried. And you will too!
