ALMENDRAS GARRAPIÑADAS caseras | Receta fácil para Navidad 🎄✨

sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index.

almonds

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: peanuts

Walnuts provide similar nutrition with a different flavor.

Measure equal amounts of sugar, almonds, and water using three identical containers.

Add slightly less water than sugar and almonds to speed up evaporation.

Turn on the heat to medium-high (7.5).

Stir continuously to combine the sugar and water until the almonds are coated.

Cook until the sugar caramelizes and coats the almonds, stirring frequently.

Ensure the almonds are raw and with skin, not toasted or fried.

Lower the heat to medium (5) as the mixture thickens.

Continue stirring until the sugar turns into a solid 'earthy' texture that coats the almonds.

Increase the heat slightly to caramelize the mixture without losing the coating.

Once the mixture becomes slightly liquid again, remove the almonds and separate them to cool.
