Gather all ingredients. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

Combine sugar, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Add almonds; stir mixture constantly until all liquid evaporates and leaves a syrupy coating on almonds, about 15 minutes.

Pour almonds onto the prepared baking sheet; use two forks to separate clumps and spread into an even layer.

Allow to cool for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
