Burnt sugar almonds are special winter treat associated with holidays
Best time: December–January
Gebrannte mandeln is a very special Christmas market food that consists of caramelized sugar almonds. During festivals, they are cooked in big copper kettles. It's best to enjoy them warm and freshly cooked. When they are cold they become very hard and not as tasty.
