These candied (praline) almonds with Christmas spices are an easy crunchy snack but also a great idea for a DIY Christmas gift. Baking the almonds in the oven allows you to create a large quantity of this snack which, once ready, can be closed in small jars decorated with a Christmas bow and be given to friends, relatives or workmates. The recipe is super simple and only takes 5 minutes to prepare. Furthermore, while baking, these almonds fill your home with a fabulous smell of caramel and spices. You can use a store bought mix of Christmas spices or like me use the ones that you prefer. I have used nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom but you can also use cloves, star anise or even a pinch of pepper.
