- 1 1/2 c. Sugar
- 1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar (packed)
- 3 T. Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. Salt
- 1 Egg White
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 c. Almonds (whole)
- 1/4 c. Water
Crock Pot Candied Almonds are to die for! I have always loved almonds made this way and was thrilled to find I can make them in the Crock Pot! They make a nice (and low-cost) gift around the holidays as well.
- Combine brown & white sugars, cinnamon and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until frothy.
- Add the almonds to the egg white mixture and stir to coat well.
- Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the almonds and mix until almonds are coated.
- Use a crock pot liner or use non-stick spray to coat the crock well.
- Place coated almonds in the crock pot and crock on LOW for 3 hours.
- Stir every 20 minutes (this is important!)
- Add 1/4 C. of water and stir well.
- Crock on LOW 1 more hour (continuing to stir every 20 minutes)
When finished crocking, place individual almonds on a sheet of parchment paper to cool. Enjoy when cooled!
Happy Crocking!

Oh, yum! I love these kinds of almonds, but they are so expensive to buy! Think I might make some up this week as a surprise for hubby who also loves them. Thanks!
I was really excited to try this recipe. Made it today and planned to give away as gifts or add to my cookie trays. Not happy with them at all. Followed the recipe exactly and although they are edible, they are not
Something I want to give away. I’d love to hear from other people. Did the recipe turn out the way you expected?
Allison so sorry you were not happy, they were delicious for me, and several others have posted on facebook that they loved them too!
They taste good but are sticky and not sure i feel comfortable packaging them to give to people. After looking at several other recipes, it looks like the amt of sugar should be reduced which will decrease the stickiness.
I just made them today and they turned out great. I followed the recipe and they’re not sticky at all.
Just Finished these and they are great! They taste just like I expected and are not sticky at all! They will make perfect gifts! Thanks so much for this great recipe!
I was going to make these for Christmas so I was going to double the batch. I have a huge crockpot. Do you think they won’t turn out right if it’s doubled?
Hello Lindsay, I haven’t doubled this recipe, and I don’t believe any of our facebook friends have posted that they have, so I really am not sure… But so many have posted how good they are, so maybe this time you should make two batches?? But if you do double, please post back and let us know! Happy Crocking!
Hello, I have attempted to make these today, following the recipe exactly. I am wondering if they need more water. I have cooked these on low for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes, and then added 1/4 c. of water for the 4th hour. I am still stirring every 20 minutes. The sugar did not dissolve to coat the almonds, so I still have a bunch of sugar that I am stirring on the almonds. I thought that the water would help it, it just turned a bit more clumpy. The aroma coming out of the crock pot is amazing, just wish that these looked more like the picture. I thought that there was alot of sugar for 3 cups of almonds. I wonder if something is missing from the recipe that you have posted. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi Lisa – I am wondering if your crock gets hot enough. Perhaps that is why the sugar didn’t dissolve at all. I haven’t had a problem with this recipe however if you read through the comments a few people did. This may be one that the type of crock pot may be really important. What kind of crock are you using? Thanks and sorry they didn’t turn out for you!
Are they raw almonds or roasted almonds? Thanks!
Hello JoAnn, I used the raw almonds, but I am not sure it really matters…. Happy Crocking!
When putting the almonds in the crock pot do you put the almonds and ALL of the sugar mixture in there as well? How long did it take the sugar mixture to start “melting”? I am in the process of doing this so I am asking a bit late, but wondering if i should turn the temp up since I am over an hour into the process and sugar mixture doesn’t seem to be melting.
Christi! Sorry I am just responding, but you don’t need to turn up the crock pot, as the whole process is on low, and if it goes the whole time it comes out perfect. Hope it turned out, as they are wonderful!
I just made these but added coconut, they are delicious!!!! I cut back 1/4 cup of each sugar as well as the cinnamon and added 1 cup of coconut. I also used 4 cups of almonds instead of 3. They are wonderful and I just thought i’d share because I looked everywhere for a recipe with coconut with no luck so I tweaked this one.
