Candy Cinnamon Almonds

I could eat these all day!  They are so easy to make. 
1/4 Cup water
1 Cup Sugar
1 T Cinnamon
3 Cups Almonds
Mix the water, sugar, and cinnamon in a pan.  Toss in the almonds and cook over med heat, stirring the whole time.  We halved the recipe and it turned out fine.  (But we did make two batches.)  Pat wanted the almonds to have more of a toasted flavor so he broiled them after.  This is a BAD idea.  It re-melted the sugar and it hardened when it cooled.  Here are some pictures of them cooking.  They turn fast, so don’t walk away!
