Have you ever been walking through a mall or shopping center when all of a sudden you are completely transfixed by some glorious smell coming from a little kiosk? If not, my condolences. If you have, you know what wonderful aroma I am talking about. It is the sweet fragrance of candied almonds, pecans, or walnuts. I’ll be honest; I’m not the biggest fan of nuts. I try to avoid them as much as possible, but whenever I catch a drift of those candied nuts I just can’t seem to get enough!

Just think if you could produce that wonderful smell in your own home. Well, thanks to Teresa you can! She has provided us with a great recipe for candied almonds! It may take a bit of practice, but you will have the candying technique down in no time! Candied nuts not only make a tasty appetizer, but they make for great gifts as well! Serve them before your Thanksgiving meal or at your Christmas party, or package them nicely to give as gifts to your friends and coworkers.
