Glazed Almonds
Glazed Almonds
This recipe for glazed almonds is super simple and the ingredients are universally loved.
These melt in your mouth almonds are easy, quick and take less than 10 minutes to prepare via stovetop.
Our family traveled to Sight & Sound theater in Pennsylvania recently and we fell in love with their signature glazed almonds. Not only did we enjoy them during the show, but we actually purchased a second bag to take home.
It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the ingredients contain no added oils or preservatives!
When we got home from our adventure, we had an awesome time recollecting our steps and experiences. From all you can eat smorgasbords to antique shopping, the funny fact of the matter was that Sight & Sound’s warm glazed almonds were one of the main topics of interest!
We suppose something that taste and smells that captivating is not so easily forgotten.
In light of that, we were inspired to make our own version of glazed almonds.
So, not only would this make the house smell amazing, but it would be a fun family activity.
What a way to bring back memories of our travels in Lancaster!
Glazed Almonds Ingredients
This simple glazed almond recipe contains only five ingredients.
- Water
- Almonds
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
We use raw organic almonds. There is always a good stock in our pantry because we love them.
Also, we use a mix of brown and white sugar, pure vanilla extract and earthy cinnamon spice!
All in all, these ingredients pair quite nicely together and give off a wonderful fragrance.
Supplies:
- Skillet
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
- Baking Sheet (Used for drying stovetop made almonds)
How to Make Glazed Almonds
Firstly, gather all the ingredients.
Secondly, place cast iron skillet under medium heat. Pour water, vanilla, sugars and cinnamon into saucepan.
Whisk everything together and bring to a simmer.
When everything is thoroughly mixed, add in the raw almonds. Cook and stir over medium heat for 6-8 minutes.
After that, use a spatula to stir almonds into the skillet.
The liquid will soon turn into a thick glaze.
Cook and stir constantly until all the liquid evaporates.
As the mixture simmers the water will evaporate and leave behind a beautiful, candied coating on the almonds.
Keep stirring! Please note that glaze will thicken at a rapid pace. Keep stirring!
Once all water has evaporated, remove the skillet from heat.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer glazed almonds from cast iron skillet to baking sheet. Spread out evenly and let cool for 15 minutes.
Once cooled, the time has come to savor the taste! Place freshly made glazed almonds in a pretty bowl for an after-dinner delight or fill up a mason jar and gift them to your loved ones. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
In the final analysis, glazed almonds are also referred to as candied almonds and caramelized almonds. No matter what you call them, they are sweet, crunchy and enjoyable. Remember to share some with your neighbor!

Thank you so much for this recipe! We used to go to Sight & Sound every year, and my son and I loved getting the almonds. After not getting to go for six years due to a move overseas, my husband and I were finally able to go back on a recent trip. Those almonds! I decided to do a search online and found your recipe. I made them twice, the first time without the cinnamon because I realized too late I didn’t have any and the second with the cinnamon. Both flavors were a hit with my family, and they devoured them. We are back in South Africa now, and I will be making them for our church Bible study tomorrow evening. I know they will thoroughly enjoy them!
Hi Amy, we are so happy to hear that you and your family liked this recipe. Sight & Sound is such a special place. We are thrilled that you will be making these almonds for your church Bible study, that’s awesome! May God bless you in this new year. Enjoy!
