If you have ever had the cinnamon sugar almonds at Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon, you know how addictive they can be. You might start by just popping a couple in your mouth, but after a few, you’ll be grabbing them by the handful.
I looked high & low for the exact candy almond recipe Disney uses but never could find one that seemed to have the same taste.
After doing a few experiments with recipes, I feel like I have perfected a recipe for candied almonds that taste just like the ones you find at Blizzard Beach.
They are very easy to make and taste amazing!
The added benefit is that when you make these, your entire house will smell like this cinnamon goodness!
