Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts
The holidays are always so busy, and I’ve been baking nonstop for neighbors and friends. These cinnamon sugar candied nuts are one of my go-to gifts. They’re quick, delicious, and always a hit. And if you love cozy cinnamon flavors, be sure to try my Kanelbullar (Swedish cinnamon buns) too!
Two ingredients I never run out of this time of year are cinnamon and vanilla. I stock up on McCormick’s because their spices are high-quality and bring the best flavor to all my holiday baking.
Buying the cinnamon almonds at the mall can be so expensive. It is so easy to make them right at home, and it all comes together in a matter of minutes. The cinnamon adds the perfect spice to these nuts. They roast to perfect candied perfection in the oven and create the perfect gift to give you your neighbors!
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts
You start with an egg white and vanilla coating on the mixed nuts. This allows the cinnamon and brown sugar to help coat and stick to the nuts while roasting. Then, you toss them to coat with the delicious cinnamon sugar.
You spread them out on a baking sheet and before you know it they are ready to pop right into the oven!
Here is the best part of making these nuts. The cinnamon aroma just fills your house. It smells like Christmas while they are roasting. Cinnamon is one of my favorite scents this time of year. And you will love the way they make your house smell while roasting to candied perfection.
As soon as they come out, they look perfect, coated in the cinnamon sugar. They are crunchy and sweet and have the perfect amount of cinnamon spice.
In fact just looking at the pictures makes me want to go and grab a handful to snack on! Hang on I will be right back. ?
You are going to love this simple to make treat for the holidays! They are perfect for this time of the year and your neighbors are going to love you for them. And a special thank you to McCormick for bringing us this quality and delicious spice that we couldn’t live without for the holidays!

Alyssa, can I double up and cook or is it better to do as written 1 cup each. Thanks.
John, yes, you can double it, but you may need 2 sheet pans to make sure the nuts can be spread out enough!
