Jeena, the photos are eye catching. I am craving for sugared almond now! We call these as "Nut Chikki".
That praline looks really good!
Wow,

Perfect as toppings..When I make them I tend to eat them as it is..because I can never stop with eating just one :)
sugar is good. nuts are good. together, they are a match made in heaven. i could eat clumps and clumps of the stuff--nice recipe! :)
Praline is a very special treat..very nice sprinkled on ice cream or made into ice cream:D

These sound awesome. I've made sugared pecans, but never sugared almonds. Definitely gonna try this!

Thi summer I will go to southern Italy so I get the wonderful sicilan almonds, I Mus try your "croccante"
I used to make almond Chikki quite often. This sounds some thing like that. Ur version looks so good. YUM! and crunchy....
I've just bought loads of almonds for the coconut and almond layer cake. (I bought extra as I plan to bake more of the lovely cake). This recipe is so, so, easy. Will definitely try this. I have a question though, do I have to add water to the sugar when I heat it? If yes, how much water? Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mel,
There is no water used in this recipe so do not add any water.
Just follow the instructions and you should have some tasty praline almonds.
Thanks,Jeena.
