Homemade Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Almonds Recipe

You know the ones, as soon as you approach the area where they're sold, the smell of cinnamon fills the air and it's completely intoxicating.  You may even find yourself so tempted by the aroma that you think it's prudent to spend your tight shopping budget on an entire case of them.  OK, maybe that's just me but, they are incredibly enticing. The truth is, they're a cinch to make at home and take so few ingredients to prepare that I began making them myself  at a fraction of the buy-at-the-mall or specialty store price.
