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
