Directions:
Heat a large frying pan over a low to medium heat.

Pour the water into the pan and stir in the powdered sugar until the sugar is completely absorbed. If using optional spices, add them now. Add the almonds into the pan and stir continuously using a wooden spoon.

It will take about 10 minutes for the water to evaporate completely and for the sugar to caramelize. Once the sugar melts and caramelizes, keep moving the almonds until they are entirely coated. Then, tip the almonds out of the pan onto a platter to cool.

Almonds are used in Spanish sauces, desserts and as a snack.

Serve caramelized almonds by themselves, or add to a green salad. Coarsely chop and use as a topping for flan, natillas or ice cream. Slices of Spanish cheese with caramelized almonds makes a simple dessert for spring and summertime dinners.
