Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy but not stiff.
Add the raw almonds to the egg white mixture and stir until the almonds are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the coated almonds and stir until all the almonds are well coated with the sugar-cocoa mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the chocolate and cinnamon sugar almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a tasty snack!
