Christmas Calendar 2013 Day 16 - Liquorice almonds

These liquorice almonds is based on this recipe from Lakrids.nu - lakridsmandler, and I have no changes at all. I like to try out the originale recipe, before I decided, if a twist or two could make some interesting changes.

Perhaps you could sprinkle them with English liquorice powder, if you would like even more liquorice taste ?

1. Place all the ingredients in a pan.
2. Heat the mixture up over high heat, while stirring well.
3. First the mixture is very active with plenty of boiling spots.
4. Once the mixture is thickened (until it no longer flows our acrosse the pan).
5. Pour the almonds on a piece of baking paper, distribute the almonds evenly.
6. After 5 minutes cooling time you can split the almonds, which are sticking to each other.
