Today, is the last day of my new gifts from the kitchen recipes. I have some Slow Cooker Cinnamon Almonds for you. However, be sure to stop by tomorrow because I have put together a collection of 75 gifts from the kitchen all in one post.
Today’s recipe is really easy to make, it just takes time. You want to be around for 3 hours to stir the cinnamon almonds every 15 minutes. It works great when you are home for the evening or already working in the kitchen. The bonus is your house will smell amazing! They have a company that sells them at my local movie theater and I love the smell every time I go there.
To package the Slow Cooker Cinnamon Almonds, I like to put them in a cone shape just like the cinnamon almond vendors do. You can sometimes find cellophane cones with the Christmas packaging at stores, but you can always use disposable decorating bags (used for frosting). That is what I used. I just order them from Amazon. I have even included a free printable tag at the bottom of this post.

[…] the top of the lid the iStir™ will stir for 1 minute. This would have worked perfectly for the Slow Cooker Cinnamon Almonds I shared this week. I especially think it would be great for recipes that use beans in it. Here […]
