Notes
- Anise and cardamom can be omitted but I recommend using at least one of the spices.
- Use whole almonds with their skin on.
- The cocoa coating is a mixture of cocoa powder, cinnamon and brown sugar. You can add a little bit of anise as well to this mixture.
- If you decide to gift these sweet almonds, then note that you should be able to get 2 good-size gifts out of this recipe.
