The perfect sweet snack for each season
Sweet and winter flavor, the crunchy almonds It is a snack that smells of parties and bright fireplace.
Like the nougatof Trinstoof the panettone or pandoro, the crunchy is part of the family of desserts purely ChristmasA kind pampering that accompanies all the holidays from mid -November to late January.
Although on the market there are many types, the crunchy almonds (as well as anacardi) is very easy to prepare at home: a saucepan, a handful of brown sugar, the juice of half a lemon and, of course, the dried fruit are enough. A few minutes over medium heat and then away in the fridge to firm before becoming small squares to give or taste at any time of the day.
Because the crunchy solidifies properly it is appropriate to spread the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and flatten it with the help of a spoon. If you have a bossing, just a few minutes inside to make the crunchy reach the right consistency.
We put the brown sugar in a saucepan together with the juice of half a lemon and put on the fire to dissolve the sugar and turn it into caramel. We move the saucepan with rotating movements to dissolve evenly. When the caramel has formed, add the almonds and mix. We transfer the mixture obtained on a sheet of parchment paper and flatten with the back of a spoon. We let cool and cut into squares.
