wow.. these are my wifes favorite snack at Disney … we bought extra to bring home… now i am going to suprise her and make them .. .thanks …
Omistars. YES.
I wonder if it is the same recipe for the pecans… except for, well… pecans instead of almonds 😉 I prefer those. YUMO.
This is like a little Christmas gift, so, Thank You! I’m going to make these as a party favor for my friends and family when they come for Christmas. It will be a wonderful treat and I’m going to make both almonds and pecans.
PS: Another option is to make them just sweet and buttery, no cinnamon. Yummy! Variety is good when you’re making them for a large number of guests.
Here’s a hint. Toast the almonds (just a few moments) in the oven before mixing them into the recipe. It will really improve the taste.
Just made these, and they are immense. Thank you for posting the recipe made my weekend and transported me and the hubby back to Walt Disney World, and we both said the exact place and time of day just by taste. Cant wait to go back in exactly 2 years time to celebrate my 40th. No doubt I will be having my regular meal of glazed almonds
Oh we eat so much of these every trip. Thanks so much! We will be making these very soon.
This is not the recipe for these nuts because I make them for my business. All they have in them is water, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar and that’s it. Its the way they are cooked that makes them so extra yummy. Not sure where this recipe came from.
So happy to see the recipe! Question though, is this the exact same recipe that is used in the parks? I had been told by the cast members working the stands that the almonds were dairy free, but here the recipe has butter. Of course, to make them at home I can use a non-dairy substitute. I’m just wondering for future park reference. Maybe they use a substitute butter, as well?
We made these for Christmas gifts and they were a huge hit! We used pecans because almonds are too crunchy for us and didn’t have to alter the recipe. We baked ours at 325 for the first thirty minutes, then turned the temperature down to 250 for the final ten minutes. I had read some people experienced burned nuts, and I didn’t want that. Haha. We also used a spaghetti getter-outer to separate the pecans. It worked wonders. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Marisa — Awesome!! Thanks for sharing the details of your experience with us!
I’m making these right now with pecans – we just got back from WDW 🙁 I am still suffering withdrawal. Perhaps this will lessen the pain, LOL!
Try Walmart Cinnamon Roasted Almonds, they are very close!
I just finished making these and this recipe is a keeper. These will definitely be going into my Christmas gift baskets. Thanks for the recipe.
