Ingredients
- 2 cups whole almonds
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon almond oil
Preparation
Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.
Turn oven on to 350 degrees. Bake almonds, stirring occasionally, until light tan, 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix sugar and salt together in a small bowl; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the 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 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 plastic bag.
Serve to someone nice and naughty.
