Honey Crystal Almonds

I love adding this to the muffins, but it's entirely optional.

Recipe Summary Honey Crystal Almonds

Roasted almonds with a honey coating are sprinkled with sugar for a sweet treat.

Ingredients | Crystallized Ginger Muffins

2 cups whole natural California Almonds, roasted*

½ cup honey

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup turbinado sugar (Sugar in the Raw®)

Directions

Over medium heat in medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add almonds; simmer and stir 2 minutes.

Using slotted spoon, transfer almonds to baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray; spread in single layer and cool slightly.

Toss almonds with sugar to coat using a medium plastic food storage bag.

*To roast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in a preheated 350 degree F oven and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant; stir once or twice to ensure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
