Directions
Candied Sugared Almonds (German Gebrannte Mandeln), Toasted whole almonds coated with a buttery vanilla glaze, and lightly dusted with cinnamon I’ve also included a lovely rosewater variation Reminiscent of the candied almonds served warm in cone shaped bags in the open air markets of Germany Delicious! Makes a great foodie or hostess gift for the holidays , Fantastic recipe for candied almonds! Made as written and mine were done after only 10 minutes or so you must watch for when the sugar caramelizes but otherwise super easy! The family couldn’t wait for them to cool down and tore into them straight away There were some almonds with very little sugar and some nice chunks of the sugar/butter caramel but they balanced each other out Also I liked that this didn’t take 40 minutes in the oven like some other recipes I’ll try it with the rosewater and with other nuts next Thanks!, I tried to make this recipe twice today The first time I tried to follow the recipe exactly as written and the sugar mixture didn’t stick to any of the almonds I tried it again with a little more butter and some water and it was a little bit better, but still didn’t turn out good enough to give to anyone I was very disappointed and am not sure what went wrong
