I am looking forward to this weekend. It is General Conference for our church–The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a great excuse to make lots of yummy food for my family! There are two sessions aired on Saturday and two sessions on Sunday where we get to hear from each of the Twelve Apostles, our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson and other church leaders. It is always a wonderful weekend to snuggle up with my my boys and enjoy inspiring messages right in our own cozy family room. And of course, I always have fun planning our menu! I usually make a big breakfast (this year I am going to make crustless breakfast quiche, snickerdoodle muffins, and a green smoothie-I will post this recipe soon) and then subs and snacks (including these Roasted Cinnamon Almonds and Black and White Bean Dip) for later.

These have been on my “to make” list since you posted this. I made them yesterday and they were a huge hit! Thanks!
Yummy! I finally made these, and I'm so glad I did. A big hit, Mel! LOVE these almonds.
My daughter and I made these today and they are fabulous! I've made candied nuts in the past, and the recipes usually require simmering the ingredients into a syrup. This is much easier! Anyone out there know how far in advance I could make these? Thanks!
I've now made this recipe twice and the second time I gave them out to friends to try. Everyone LOVES them and they are so stinkin' easy:) These are officially part of our fall traditions…THANKS!
Yummm!!
What a great idea for Conference! 😉
Thanks for posting this recipe. I made them yesterday and used only half of cup of sugar and they were delicious and not overly sugary.

Great snack ideas! Love those almonds. I could easily eat the whole bowl.
cannot wait to try these! I always buy them at the Farmer's Market – I cannot resist that scent!
Looks delicious. A must to try! Thanks for sharing. Stop by when you can. Connie
NICE! I love sugary almonds!
I really want to try this! Hope you are having a good conference weekend. It's full of talks on love and the Spirit so far. Nice as always.
Yummy! what a fun and different treat! I can't wait to try them. I really wish I could drop by and watch a session of conference with you and the boys (and taste all your treats)! 🙂
Love candied almonds. These look terrific. So good any time of the year!!
The roasted almonds look so good, and my mouth is watering looking at those cinnamon rolls. WoW!
I so need to be a better planner…we usually just lounge out on the couch to watch conference and then we scrounge for something to eat in between. What a great treat idea!
oooo my mom makes these for Christmas! What a yummy to snack on during conference!!!! :o)
Great idea for Christmas stockings too!!
Root beer and cinnamon roasted nuts – sounds like the perfect combo to me.
