There's no confectionary law that says you have to wait for the holidays to roll around to enjoy these Cinnamon-Sugar Almonds. But if the calendar says December, you'll most definitely want to stock up-and how.

There's also no need to decipher this ingredient list: almonds, sugar, cinnamon. That's it. The idea for cinnamon-sugar-coated nuts descends from Germany and neighboring Scandanavia, where the fragrant nuts were gifted and gobbled up throughout the festive season. (No coincidence that good ole' St. Nick also hails from these provinces!) But honestly, when isn't the warming cinnamon-sweet combo a welcome distraction from the goings-on of life? Imagine cinnamon rolls and apple cider and a crackling fire. They'll lull you into that cozy sweet spot with the very first bite.
