candied almonds

Caramelized sweet nuts

Candied almonds are almonds coated in a hardened sugar shell, often flavored with cinnamon or vanilla.

They're a common treat at fairs, festivals, and holiday markets, where the caramelizing sugar scents the air.

Also called sugar almonds or praline almonds: We bought a bag of candied almonds from the street vendor.
