Brända mandlar (literally "burnt almonds") is a recipe for Swedish candied almonds.

Ingredients

100 g blanched almonds
100 g icing sugar
125 ml water
1 drop red food colouring (optional)

Steps

Put the almonds in the oven at 180 °C for a few minutes to toast them.
Pour the water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, then sprinkle in the sugar. Place over a low heat, and stir until the mixture thickens.
Add the colouring. Stir in the almonds so that they get a nice coating.
Spread out the almonds on some baking paper, separate the almonds using a fork, and let them cool a bit.
