The nutty goodness and versatility of almonds make them a favorite ingredient in many of my recipes. They add crunchy texture and a delicious twist to traditional down-home recipes. Plus they taste great on their own as a snack, like in this much-requested recipe.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

1/3 cup butter
2 large egg whites
Pinch salt

Place butter in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° until melted, about 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in cinnamon and almonds; pour over butter and toss to coat.
Bake at 325° for 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, or until almonds are crisp.

Disappointing. The batter does not stick well to the almonds. Could use more spices.

They taste was ok at best... I am sad i wasted 3 cups of almonds on this. These were not glazed. they were more like covered in meringue and then baked. I made a recipe from TOH magazine for these type of almonds months ago. Now I cant find it. that one was awesome. These are not good.
