Questions about Sugar-coated almonds candy
How are sugar-coated almonds made?
Almonds are coated in heated sugar syrup, then stirred as the syrup cools and crystallises into a crisp shell. They may also be coloured or flavoured.
Can you make sugar-coated almonds at home?
Yes: warm almonds in a heavy pan, add sugar and a little water, then stir over a medium heat as the syrup bubbles and turns grainy around them. Keep stirring until the coating looks dry and crystalline, then spread the almonds apart on baking paper to cool completely.
How should you store sugar-coated almonds?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture makes the sugar coating sticky, so let them cool fully before sealing the container.
What is the difference between sugar-coated almonds and candied almonds?
The names can overlap, but sugar-coated almonds usually have a distinct, crisp shell of crystallised sugar. Candied almonds are often cooked with sugar until the nuts are glossy and caramelised; they can have a darker, harder coating.
What can you serve with sugar-coated almonds?
Serve them alongside coffee or tea, add a few to a bowl of mixed sweets, or use them to decorate cakes and biscuits. Their crisp shell also gives a contrasting texture on a dessert platter.
How many sugar-coated almonds make a sensible portion?
A piece weighs about 3.5 g, so a small handful of around 8–10 pieces is about 28–35 g and provides 163 kcal. They are very sweet, so a few pieces can be enough alongside other treats.
Can sugar-coated almonds trigger an allergy?
Yes. They contain almonds, a tree nut, and may be unsuitable for anyone with an almond allergy. Avoid them if you are allergic, and take care with young children because the hard sweets can be a choking risk.
