Roasted Almonds in Caramel

Toasted almonds in caramel is a truly Christmas, winter treat. In many European countries, it is sold at Christmas markets. I'll present a classic way of making such almonds, but if you add cinnamon or other spices, then the roasted almonds will get that very Christmas flavor.

Ingredients

• almonds 200 g
• granulated sugar 125 g
• vanilla sugar 10 g
• water 70 ml

Directions

1. Pour water into a frying pan (preferably steel or copper), add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar. Put the pan on the stove and bring the syrup to a boil over high heat. Cook the syrup until all the sugar is dissolved.
2. Pour almonds into the syrup. Stirring constantly, continue to cook until the water evaporates and the almonds are in the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and continue stirring until the sugar is dry.
3. Put the pan on the fire again and continue to fry the almonds. The sugar will begin to melt and caramelize.
4. As soon as the almonds are ready, we transfer them to the foil, distributing the nuts at a short distance from each other so that they do not stick together into one lump.
