Crockpot cinnamon-vanilla almonds.

I found this recipe on Pinterest and was dying to try it....and it turned out so delicious! I will for sure be making these every Christmas! I've made 3 batches so far...and I might need to make more! Super yummy! Here is the recipe (modified from the original slightly...):

1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbs (generous) cinnamon
1 egg white
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups whole almonds
1/4 cup water

In one bowl whisk together the egg white and vanilla until frothy and pour over the almonds (in the slow cooker) stir well so all of the almonds are covered in the egg mixture.
In a separate bowl combine sugars and cinnamon. Once mixed, pour over almonds and stir well.
Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours. (I cooked mine for about 3 hours and 15 minutes)
You will need to stir the almonds every 20 minutes.
In the last hour, pour the water over the almonds and stir well.
Once your time is up, transfer the almonds to a covered baking sheet (wax paper or tinfoil) and let cool & harder.
Try to lay them out as flat as you can because they will all clump together into a big almondy mess!
(Bonus...makes your kitchen smell delicious!!)

Super easy. And yummy..those are the recipes I like!
