Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. Combine egg white and vanilla in another large bowl, and whisk until frothy. Pour almonds into the egg mixture and toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer to the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Empty everything into the slow cooker.

Step 3

Cook on Low for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. After a couple of hours your house will start smelling good.

Step 4

After 3 hours pour in 2 tablespoons water and stir well. If almonds look very dry, add 1 more tablespoon water to create a crunchy coating. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes more.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour almonds onto the sheet and separate any almonds that are stuck together. Allow to cool slightly to harden before serving.
