Ingredients
4-6 cups of sugar
1 1/2 lbs roasted almonds

zest from 1 orange

DirectionsRoast almonds on 375 degrees in oven for 5-8 min.

Heat the sugar in the pan (med-med-high heat). Mix constantly with a wooden spoon until caramel-like and light-brown in color. Add all other ingredients, including the roasted almonds and a little juice from the orange after you’ve added its zest. Mix well until dark brown in color and turn off heat.
