Tips:

  • Use raw almonds. Roasted almonds will not crystallize as well.
  • Make sure the almonds are completely dry. Any moisture will prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Use a heavy saucepan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Stir the almonds constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from clumping.
  • Be patient. It takes time for the sugar to crystallize. Don't rush the process or you will end up with a sticky mess.
