1

Toast sesame seeds in a pan for 1 minute.

2

Wash the almonds to remove any dirt without removing the skin.

3

In an aluminum pot, add 1 cup of water, 10 ounces of sugar, and 0.5 tablespoons of dark vanilla extract.

4

Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble.

5

Add 0.5 tablespoons of margarine to help achieve a shiny color.

6

Continue cooking until the caramel thickens and becomes more viscous, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning.

7

Once the caramel reaches a dry consistency, mix from the edges to the center to allow the sugar to caramelize again.

8

Add the toasted sesame seeds to the mixture.

9

Quickly transfer the caramel-coated almonds to a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are separated to prevent sticking.
