Steps:
- Add water, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a large pan. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon and heat up the ingredients on your stovetop on medium heat. Keep stirring consistently.
- When the mixture is boiling (and bubbling), add the almonds. Turn the heat down slightly and keep the mixture simmering until the water evaporates and the sugar gets brown (around 6-8 minutes). Keep stirring the almonds around.
- Once all the water has evaporated and the almonds are coated in the sugar mixture, remove the almonds from the pan and place them on some parchment paper to let them cool. Separate almonds that got stuck together with a fork before you let them cool.

Steps:
- 1. In a sauté skillet pour the sugar and water after mixing add the almonds.
- 2. On max. heat keep stirring - but be very careful the sugar will get very hot. After a while the water evaporats and stirring will become a little more heavy.
- 3. Keep going until you hear a cracking sound from the almonds... it is very distinct, you'll know it when you hear it... Keep sirring for an additional 2 minutes and put on a waxed cookie sheet. Separate with a wooden spatular. Cool and store in an airtight container.
BURNT ALMONDS
The almonds are toasted in a crisp toffee coating and are irresistible. They make a terrific gift and if you can resist eating them they keep "forever" in an air tight container. Cooking & work times are just an estimate. I find I have to stand at the stove stirring them for about 10-15 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large heavy based frying pan.
- Stir over a high heat and keep stirring until eventually the water is absorbed and the almonds are coated in white sugar.
- It is important to keep stirring and gradually the sugar caramelizes, turning to toffee, hence the "burnt" almonds. If you leave them on the heat after this they really will be burnt.
- As soon as all of the sugar has turned to toffee, tip them out onto a large sheet of baking paper (silicon coated paper) laid out on your kitchen bench. It is useful to have a helper at this stage to help spread them out a bit. This makes them easier to snap apart later.
- When cool, break them apart and store in an airtight container.
