Meanwhile, prepare the caramel: pour the granulated sugar into a thick-bottomed non-stick pan and add the lemon juice.

Melt the sugar over low heat until it reaches an amber color.

Coarsely chop some almonds and leave the rest whole. Add them to the caramel and stir with a wooden spoon until all almonds are coated in caramel.

Immediately pour the mixture onto a sheet of oiled parchment paper.

Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and level the surface using a rolling pin.

Let the croccante cool for a couple of minutes, then flip it onto a cutting board and cut into bars.
