Cinnamon roasted almonds are one of my favorite treats, not only for the holidays, but also anytime of the year. I use to buy them at the grocery store and pay quite a lot for them, that is until I figured how ridiculously easy they were to make. And another benefit to making them at home is they make your house smell amazing.
