Keyword: Christmas, Snack
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 100 gram Almonds
  • 100 gram Powdered Sugar
  • 100 gram Orange Juice
  • 1.3 gram Cinnamon
  • 2.5 gram Vanilla Sugar

Instructions

  • Burnt Almonds
  • Put all the ingredients in a sauté pan.
  • Turn on medium heat.
  • Let it melt under constant stirring.
  • Burnt Almonds
  • The sugar melts slowly and begins to crystallize.
  • When the sugar is dry, turn up to high heat. 
  • Burnt Almonds
  • Now the dry sugar starts to melt and gives the almonds a glossy appearance.
  • Just before the almonds start to turn too dark, take them off.
  • Place them on baking paper.
  • Let them cool down.
  • Break them apart.
  • Store in a dry, airtight container.
  • Unfortunately, they didn't get as much orange flavor as I had hoped.

Notes

I tried once more where I used water instead of orange juice and 1 tsp Africa mix from Puks Delicacies instead of cinnamon and vanilla sugar.
It gave fine nuances of cinnamon and cocoa plus a nice afterheat of chili. They turned out super good.
