And if you've ever been through Chicago O'Hare airport, more than likely you smelled the amazing almonds as soon as you step off the plane. If you're like me, you can never pass them up! Since I can't be flying back & forth to Chicago, I came up with my own version to make here at home.
With only 7 ingredients these are much easier to make than you'd think!

Ingredients
3cups - un-salted almonds
1 egg white
1tsp cold water
1tsp vanilla
1cup white sugar
1tsp cinnamon
1/4tsp salt
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat egg white until foamy. Add cold water and vanilla, mix.
In a large bowl measure out 3 cups of almonds. Pour egg mixture over almonds and stir to coat well.
In a separate bowl mix together sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle over almonds and mix well to ensure there is sugary goodness on all almonds.
Resist the urge to take them out when the sweet aroma takes over your house. Letting them get slow roasted and glazed on the outside will be totally worth it!

Being a vegetarian, and needing alternate sources of protein, I love anything with almonds, slivered almonds in a salad, to Marzipan bars, to the German marzipan chocolate-covered bars...yum! Our grocery store had BOGO this week so I have TWO containers, and I might be very bad and use your recipe on some of them...I love your pictures btw. Been through O'Hare many a time, and cannot recall that smell, hmmm, probably was frantic about making the connection.
