Jen's Sweet & Spicy Almonds

I love almonds, and a friend made some sweet and spicy ones around Christmastime.  I put together a quick and simple recipe that anyone can do.

Ingredients

1 lb whole salted almonds
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

How to make them:

Preheat the oven to 300*.

In a large plastic baggy, toss the almonds with the vegetable oil, making sure to coat them well.  Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients until very well mixed, like grains of sand.  Pour this into the bag of oiled almonds.

Spread out on a baking sheet with sides.  Bake 15 minutes at 300*.  Stir.  Drop the temp on the oven to 275* and bake 10 more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool.  Store in an airtight container and try not to eat them all at once.  Enjoy!
