Almond candy has been one of my parent’s favorite candy. They sold these at stores and I would always see them buy it. Ashpazkhane Mazar’s YouTube tutorial on how to make almond candy is so simple. This recipe only requires two ingredients. All you have to do is stir the ingredients on a stovetop and let it rest. There are no complicated steps. I think it was a beautiful presentation when flowers were added in the end. They looked fake to me and too pretty to eat. This reminds me of a chocolate bark candy or any type of bark because of how it’s made. This almond candy looks perfectly glazed over from the melted sugar. I’m sure there would be a nice crunch factor from this candy too.
First, roast the almonds on the pan for about 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring them so they are nicely roasted all around on each side.
Then, on medium heat, add the sugar to the almonds in the pan. Stir the sugar into the almonds so it does not burn. Let the sugar melt and infuse with the almonds. Next, dump the sugared almonds onto parchment paper and flatten it out to cool down.
In conclusion, I would love to make this for my friend to see what he thinks about it. I’m not sure if this is a common candy, but he loves almonds and sweets. I think this would be a filling yet satisfying candy. There’s a lot of fiber and protein that’s packed in the almonds, so the sugar adds a nice touch to help solidify the candy into one. I can see this candy be addicting to eat (in a good way) because it’s like having candied almonds.
