300 grams of sugar
150 grams of roasted almonds

Mix sugar and almonds.

Place them in a pan and stir constantly on low heat until the sugar is all melted and the almonds are nicely coated with the caramelized sugar.

Cool on wax paper.

There are numerous recipes for honey-glazed or sugar-glazed nuts. Prior to World War II Southern Italians only made these delicious treats during the Christmas and New Year's holidays (including Epiphany). Nowadays, any time is a good time. These sweets are easy to do -- all one needs is honey and/or sugar, nuts, and a frying pan. I tried this simple recipe and was shocked by how good the sugared almonds tasted. Actually, good is the wrong word. The taste was superb -- a thousand times better than any of the sugared almonds readily available in the shops.
