Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When boiling the sugar syrup initially, if you stir with a spatula, it won't dissolve clearly and will crystallize early, becoming hard, so let it melt on its own.
  • When you turn off the heat and start stirring, you must not stop and need to stir quickly so the almonds don't clump together in large lumps and stay separate.
  • Adding just a tiny amount of salt at the end completes an addictive sweet-and-salty combination beyond simple sweetness, bringing out savory depth.
  • In addition to almonds, you can use various leftover nuts like peanuts, walnuts, and cashews with the same ratio and method.

Recommended for

  • For those who want to make a lovely and sweet snack in 10 minutes using leftover nuts at home.
  • For those looking for a crunchy and addictive snack to pick at one by one while watching a movie or during beer time.
