fancy nuts

Tonight we went over to my sister's for dinner. I was in charge of the salad and decided to try something new. Both my sister and mom had told me about some candied almonds they had tried in a salad. I had no measurements/recipe to go by, so I just dumped some sugar and almonds into a pan and turned on the heat! I had to stir them every minute or so, but after about 10 minutes, I had the tastiest little nuts that added so much flavor/crunch to our salad. I felt quite gourmet and will definitely do this again, especially because buying candied nuts can be so expensive!
