Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Toast 250 g of almonds in a baking tray for a few minutes until warm and slightly toasted.

In a saucepan, combine 160 g of sugar and 50 g of honey over low heat.

Stir until the sugar dissolves and transforms into caramel.

Use a thermometer to check that the mixture reaches 170°C, or visually observe the amber color.

Once the sugar and honey mixture reaches the right color, add the toasted almonds and mix well.

Continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring well.

Prepare a rectangular baking tray lined with parchment paper and pour the almond mixture into it.

Use another piece of parchment paper or a glass to flatten the mixture.

Allow to cool completely before cutting into pieces.
