Great recipe. I made it with granulated splenda and it turned out great. Make sure not to skim on toasting time, it makes the almonds crunchy rather then soft.

Excellent! Same taste as the ones from a specialty store. I ended up hiding the almonds from my husband so that we'd have some left for the guests!

Excellent reviewer tips on this recipe - a bit of tweeking for a perfect end result. The changes made: substitute 1tsp. vanilla for the water, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to dry ingredients, increase the cinnamon to 1tsp. used 1/2 cup of Splenda for the white sugar ingredient (because I have to watch my sugar intake; worked great with the sugar substitute),used a 16oz. pkg. of almonds for this recipe to ensure good coating. If using more nuts, increase the coating ingredients. Cooked my batch on a cookie sheet with parchment paper (easy cleanup) at 250 degrees for 1hr.15mins. stirring every 20 mins or so. Good stuff! This goes into my Gift Giving recipe file.

These were absolutely great! I followed the recommendations to add vanilla, used half brown and half white sugar, double the cinnamon and double the coating. The almonds were a big hit.

Wow...awesome recipe! Everyone thought that these were the best they've ever had! As other reviewers recommended, I added the 1/2 C brown sugar, 1 t vanilla instead of water and baked for 1 hour 20 minutes. Now I have to go buy some more almonds...

Insanely amazing! Just as good as the nuts you would buy at a fair or theme park. I made the same recipe with almonds and pecans. I added 1/2 cup of brown sugar, extra cinnamon, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs. I also melted about 1/3 cup of butter, let it cool and added it to the mix. Delicious! They keep well and are great christmas gifts!

These are ALWAYS a huge hit when I make them. Eat them with reckless abandon!! I followed some older reviews and use 4 cups of almonds, 1/2 c. each of white and brown sugar, 1 teas. of vanilla, 1 teas. of cinnamon and 1/2 teas. of salt. I also bake these on a half bake sheet lined with a silpat - super easy cleanup!

Soooo Good, my family loves them. I did follow the advise of others and cut back to 3 cups of nuts and added 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1tsp vanilla. I baked them for an hour and half stirring them every 15 minutes. My husband said he liked them better than the mall!!! Wow Thanks for recipe!

These were yummy! I followed some of the advice I read here and used slightly fewer almonds, added some brown sugar and more cinnamon. The result was fantastic! I am going to use these as the gifts I give to co-workers this Christmas.

These are sooo good! Did as other reviewers suggested and used 3 cups of almonds, the extra 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla, and cooked an extra 20 minutes!! I made them for a party and everyone loved them. I just didn't think they looked that pretty. I plan on making these again this week just to have on hand, something great to snack on and a nice change!

Made this for my niece's bridal shower. Used cashews because my niece is allergic to almonds. I added a little freshly grated nutmeg. Everyone loved them, but couldn't taste the spices very well. Next time will add more. Very tasty- thanks!!!

I did not love this recipe, but one of my relatives thought it was fantastic. I think this is one of those recipes that you'll either think is great or just so-so, depending on personal preference. I was really hoping to love this, so I guess I will keep looking...

The girls in my office ate this up! They say it tastes exactly like the almonds you smell in the malls at Christmastime. I sprayed my pan with Butter flavored Pam, but other than that, I followed the exact recipe. The smell of my house as they were cooking was divine! This would be a good thing to give to your co-workers/neighbors instead of the traditional christmas cookies.

This recipe is fantastic. I did what others suggested and added 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon and I added 1 tsp of vanilla to the egg whites. They were great! I didn't find them too sweet at all with the extra sugar, so I don't know what they would taste like without it. The only thing I may do differently next time is add a little more cinnamon. Maybe 2 tsp like a few people suggested.
