Step 1

In a skillet, combine sugar, cinnamon, water, and salt.

Step 2

Add almonds to skillet and stir constantly over medium heat, making sure all almonds get coated with the syrupy mixture. Stir until sugar crystallizes and almonds look "furry" with the sugar coating (about 5 minutes). Tip: Don't go too long or mixture will turn back into syrup.

Step 3

Remove almonds from heat and scoop out onto wax paper to cool.
