These Candied Almonds are Perfect for The Holidays

By Susanna Mostaghim at Virginia Tech

I don't know why candied almonds aren't a bigger thing. I personally like them pretty well, it makes them a little more palatable going down. But, I just don't like how dry almonds are. Or maybe it's just nuts in general. I don't know. Maybe I'm weird about my nuts thanks to my dad.

However─in my book─candied almonds are the only proper way to eat whole almonds if you aren't eating them with other stuff. Well, unless you have chocolate-covered almonds. Because those are bae and nothing beats chocolate covered anything.

But, candied almonds are a great gift in the sense you can eat them or add them as a topping to a dessert. Think Tastemade with their weird chocolate pasta thing that had candied hazelnuts on top. Yeah, that happened on their Snapchat story at one point. I don't know. It was weird. And I really, really don't like it.

Despite the weirdness that is Tastemade's Snapchat (but I really appreciate their food puns, they're on point), that doesn't detract from the great tasting and healthy snack that is candied almonds. They're a great gift around the holidays for your friends who like to keep their food choices healthy as they're festive and easy to eat.
