Essential Ingredients
- 2 cups almonds (approx. 200g)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 Tbsp honey
- 3 Tbsp powdered sugar (for coating)
- 1.5 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by melting 1.5 Tbsp of unsalted butter in a lightly heated pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add 2 Tbsp of granulated sugar and 4 Tbsp of honey. Stir continuously with a spatula until the sugar dissolves and the mixture forms a syrup. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 2
Once the syrup is formed, add the 2 cups of almonds to the pan. Continue to stir-fry over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, ensuring each almond is evenly coated with the syrup. You’ll notice them becoming glossy and slightly caramelized. Carefully transfer the hot almonds onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and spread them out. Let them cool completely to prevent them from clumping together and to achieve maximum crispiness.
Step 3
Place the completely cooled almonds into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly. Gently tap the bag with a rolling pin or your hands to slightly break apart the almonds. Be careful not to crush them completely; the goal is to crack the coating slightly, not to pulverize the nuts. Next, add 3 Tbsp of powdered sugar to the bag. Seal it again and shake well until the almonds are evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Your delicious, sweet, and crunchy Honey Butter Almonds are now ready to be enjoyed!
