Honey Roasted Almonds~sooo yummy!

Awhile back I went on a short road trip with my mom and she had brought along a can of honey roasted almonds. They were so good, it was hard not to eat the whole can. Well, that gave me the idea to make my own. It becomes a very expensive snack if you buy them from the store in a can. Not to mention they have ingredients I am not fond of. If I can't pronounce it I don't want to eat it. So I found some recipes and did my own little tweaking and here is what you have-

~Honey Roasted Almonds~


2 cups of almonds with  skins on (mine were roasted whole almonds)
1/4 cup sugar (don't use less)
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp water
2 tsp olive oil

Place almonds on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven at 350 degrees for 25-30, to make them have a  nice crunch. While they roast, place the sugar and salt together in a separate bowl, set aside to toss it all in at the end. Combine the honey, water, and olive oil in a saucepan. Heat this mixture to boiling over medium heat just before your almonds are done in the oven. When it reaches a boil and your almonds are done add the almonds to the saucepan. Stir constantly until all the liquid is gone. Dump the honey coated almonds into the bowl with the sugar and salt and toss to coat. Place on a cool cookie sheet until dry. Store in a airtight container & try not to eat them all at once. :)
