Servings 8 people
Calories 220kcal
Ingredients
The Bites
- 200 g Almonds
- 150 g White/coconut sugar
The Cacao Glaze
- 2 tbsp Cacao powder
- 4 tbsp Water
Instructions
The Bites
- Crush your almonds into smaller pieces either with an asanka or using a knife.
- In a pan, melt your sugar, continually stirring, until it turns into a golden brown caramel. (Be careful, caramel is extremely hot. I burned my fingers on my first attempt!)
- Take your sugar off the heat and quickly add your almonds to the sugar. Stir until sugar coats the almonds completely until it forms a clump/ball.
- Lay the clump/ball onto a chopping board. Using a greased rolling pin, roll your mixture out flat. With your knife, cut into small pieces.
The Cacao Glaze
- Mix your cacao powder and water until it is a smooth syrup consistency. Add more cacao or water depending on the thickness of the glaze.
- Drizzle over the bites and let cool for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!x
