INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole natural almonds
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup turbinado sugar
METHOD:
Spread almonds in a shallow pan. Place in cold oven; turn oven to 350°F and roast for 12 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well roasted.
Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add almonds; simmer and stir for 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer almonds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray; spread in a single layer and cool slightly.
Toss almonds with sugar to coat using a medium plastic food storage bag.
