This is a recipe I originally learned from Diane Carlson, from the Conscious Gourmet.
This is a super easy recipe that will never disappoint you. I have also used it to candy hazelnuts, cashews and walnuts. You can easily eat these almonds by themselves or as a garnish for poached or roasted fruit – like my Roasted Pears with Blue Cheese or these Poached Pears in Orange Juice.
ALMOND PRALINE
1 cup sliced almonds 1 tbs maple sugar 1 tbs maple syrup
- Combine all ingredients and stir well with two forks. Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or Silplat.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes in a 350F oven. Stir occasionally, and remove from oven once they’ve become golden brown.
- When you remove from oven, transfer them immediately to a cool bowl or plate for them to cool down. They’ll become crisp as they cool down. Separate them carefully.

Where can I find maple sugar in Puerto Rico? Thanks to Marshall’s I can get ahold of good maple syrup pretty much year-round.
Sure, Adriana. You can find 100% real maple syrup and maple sugar at Freshmart and many other health food shops in Puerto Rico.
I’ve followed your link from Serious Eats – I asked for ideas about a snack mix. It’s funny you suggested a candied nut, I was thinking of that same thing – maybe use a candied nut in the mix. I like your suggestions and will try this out!
i’m glad you liked the idea… let me know how they turn out in the end, ok???
