Have you ever been to a theme park or county fair and catch a whiff of fresh Cinnamon Roasted Almonds? That smell grabs you every time. Doesn’t it? It’s warm and comforting. Also called cinnamon glazed almonds, they just smell heavenly. It’s as if that fragrance caresses your nose and almost carries you to the stand selling them.

Mug with Cinnamon Glazed Almonds - A Disney Parks Favorite

Once you have one, you’re hooked. There is a reason why many places give out free samples. Just is no “oh, I’ll just have one!” You want the whole bag once you get that taste.

Now you can make these cinnamon roasted almonds at home. They are really easy to make too! We like the  almonds, but feel you can substitute other types of nuts or any combination you want.

Popcorn stand at Disney World

The first time we had these was at Disney World. We were walking in one of the parks when we caught the amazing smell. We headed right over and picked up a bag. Now, we have to get one every time we go to the park. I’m glad that I can make these at home. It’s cheaper than heading to Disney whenever the craving hits.

Stiff Peaks for the Egg Whites

The trick to these glazed almonds is to whip the egg whites into stiff peaks. The picture above shows you what you are looking for. It’s almost as if you are making a meringue. It helps to get the glaze to stick to the nuts. It’s takes a few extra minutes to do this step, but you’ll love the results.

    Mmm, I can’t tell you how much I love these. At Christmas time when they sell them at the mall, the smell is Devine! I’ll have to try this out and make my own. My family will love them!

    Those look amazing! I am allergic to cinnamon, but I could sadly leave it out. 🙁

      You could always substitute another spice. Try nutmeg, or a mix of nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice.

      It’s not exactly a meringue, but the technique is similar
