Place the walnuts on a parchment paper or silicon mat to dry the surface.

Candied Almond

1/2 cup Almond

1/4 cup raw cane sugar

A pinch of salt and cinnamon powder

25ml water

Melt all the sugar in the small amount of water over high heat.

When it' s very bubbly add salt, cinnamon powder and Almond.

Stir it slowly over low heat for a few minutes

Reduce the heat to low the moment you smell the caramel.

First the sugar melts ,then it becomes flaky but keep mixing the nuts.

At the end ,the flaky sugar starts to melt again,

that's when you stop roasting nuts.

Arrange them on a silicon mat.

The nuts should not overlap before the candy hardens.

It takes just a couple of minutes to get settled.

But if you let them cool long enough, they become even crunchier.

These nuts are very tasty as a salad topping as well.
