Ingredients

  • 250 g – 1 ¾ cups almonds – unpeeled
  • 250 g – 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a non-stick frying pan, mix well, and cook over low–medium heat until the sugar begins to melt.
  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon. The sugar will crystallise before melting again. Keep stirring until the almonds look glossy and separate easily.
  3. Spread the almonds onto a tray lined with baking paper and leave them to cool completely.
  4. Serve.
