Ingredients
  

  • 300 ml cream
  • 200 g sugar
  • 200 ml golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar or equal amount of vanilla powder or extract
  • 15 g butter 1 tbsp
  • 50 g chopped almonds

Instructions
 

  • Mix cream, sugar and syrup into a pot and bring it to a boil.
  • Boil on medium heat for 30 min (stir once in a while). There should be a lot of bubbles. Please note that the time could change depending on the size of the pot and the heat of your stove.
  • Then start measuring the temperature of the mixture. It is ready when temperature is around 125-130°C (257-266°F). For me it took around 45 min.
  • While waiting for the mixture to be ready you can prepare a tray that you pack tiny paper cups tightly on. Also chop the almonds so it is ready and find a suitable metal container to pour from.
  • Take the mixture off the heat and stir in vanilla sugar, butter and almonds.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the small paper cups trying to avoid them from flipping over, or getting yourself burnt.
  • Let it cool!
