Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- Pinch of salt
- 4–6 Kinder chocolate bars, chopped or melted
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add almonds, sugar, water, and salt.
- Stir constantly. The mixture will become syrupy, then grainy as the sugar crystallizes, and finally caramelize into a glossy coating.
- Transfer almonds to a parchment-lined tray and spread out. Let cool completely.
- Melt Kinder chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Once almonds are cool, drizzle or toss with melted chocolate, depending on desired coverage.
- Spread chocolate-coated almonds on parchment paper and let set at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
- Add cinnamon or vanilla to the sugar mixture for extra flavor.
- Use dark chocolate or Nutella instead of Kinder for variations.
- Top with sea salt, orange zest, or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for a festive twist.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch and freshness.
- Perfect for gifting in jars or treat bags.
