Sugared Almonds
Popular in Croatia’s Dalmatian region, sugared almond sweets are often served up at celebrations.

Easy to make and will go down a treat. Check this recipe out.
Ingredients
Almonds – 100 g
Sugar – 100 g
Bourbon Vanilla Sugar – small pack
Water – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
1. Put all the ingredients in a pot place on a medium to low heat. Let the sugar melt and the water to evaporate.
2. Keep stirring the liquid and cooking on the same heat for around 15 minutes. The sugar will return to a solid state so stir quicker so that each almond gets coated as much as possible.
3. Once caramelized and you hear the almonds starting to pop take off heat. Place on baking paper and let cool.
