Caramelized Almonds and or Pecans

Almonds, nuts, pecans, macadamias are my any time temptations, just about any kind of nuts drive me nuts. Here in Puerto Rico there are various  booths or carts that sell these caramelized almonds and walnuts in a small paper cone for $3.50 each . The smell of these caramelized nuts takes over the mall and start screaming out to me, buy me, buy me..please. And I end up buying the bag. Its been a pretty long time since I visited the mall because its about 30 mins (on the express) away from home. Soooo I made some research and found this recipe on a recipe sharing page on Social Network. I tried it out and they were great.

Its a great treat for your kids after school snack or even for a party. Take a chance at making them you will not regret it. 

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup of Almonds, pecans, or just about any nut

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1/8 cup water

Put all ingredients in a saucepan, constantly moving with a wooden spoon.

 When it start to thicken, remove from the stove and pour over wax paper and let cool. Once cooled break in pieces. And tadaaaa! Ready to gubble up! Yum, Yum! Enjoy!
