Glazed Almonds are irresistible. You’ll love it when everyone thinks you bought them and you proudly announce you made them yourself! I like to bring them out after dinner; but there’s no law that says you can’t munch on them before dinner.
Wrap a batch of Glazed Almonds in cellophane tied with a bow and give them as gifts! Do the same with Candied Pecans.
Note: Using a long handled wooden spoon is important. The sugar syrup becomes very hot and you should keep your hands as far away from the heat and possibly spattering sugar as possible.
