Does anyone have a recipe for Cinnamon Roasted Almonds like you find
at fairs? I've tried the Christmas recipe at allrecipes.com but the
cinnamon/sugar coating on the almonds came out too too thin. I'm not
sure what I need to do to duplicate that "fair" taste.

Below is the link to the allrecipes.com page.

you could eliminate the water and add another egg white. I made these
before with excellent results. I did not add water.

I don't know how this one compares to nuts at the fair, but it comes out
with a thick coating. (You're practically coating and baking it with a
meringue topping.) You can improvise by adding cinnamon in proportions
listed from your other recipe.

SWEDISH NUTS

1/2 lb nuts; almonds plus
1/2 lb nuts; walnuts or/& pecans
2 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine

Toast nuts in slow oven (325') until light brown. Beat egg whites and dash
of salt until soft mounds form; gradually add sugar and beat to stiff
peaks. Fold nuts into egg whites. Melt butter in 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 1-inch
pan; spread nut mixture over butter. Bake at 325' about 30 minutes stirring
every 10 minutes, or until nuts are coated with a brown covering and no
butter remains in pan. Cool. Can be stored for several weeks in container
with tight lid.

My note: I use only pecans since I like that nut best. I pick up the large
bags at Sam's at holiday time.
