Toffee-Coated Almonds

This toffee coating was delicious, but I had problems with it sticking to the nuts. I've heard of people making the coating in a sauce pan then pouring it over the nuts, or perhaps I should have let it cool longer on the pan. Regardless, the taste was great!

1/4 C sugar
2 T butter, melted
2 T corn syrup
1-1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups unsalted almonds

In a large bowl, combine sugar, butter, corns syrup, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Add almonds, toss to coat. Transfer to greased 15x10x1 baking pan. Bake at 300 for 20-25 minutes or until bubble and golden brown, stirring once. Cool on wire rack (maybe I was supposed to put the whole pan on the rack?); break apart if necessary. Store in airtight container.
