The wafting aroma of roasting almonds is the one thing that I look forward to at a street fair. Candied, cinnamon-sugar-glazed almonds at the Christmas market are my favorite! But it's so cold outside and so I decided to try making them at home!

While the recipe is fairly easy, the difficult bit is getting the right glaze on the almonds. So what's the secret behind it? Whisk egg whites until you get a thick and heavy mixture then and add sugar, cinnamon and salt.
