Cooking websites are annoying as fuck especially on your phone without adblock. I just wanted a page so I could open recipes while in the kitchen on my phone.

Also check out this site for straightforward ad-free recipes: based cooking.

Ingredients

• Whole almonds
• Sugar
• Water
• Salt
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon

Instructions

If you burn it, you can easily clean up by pouring boiling water over the hard sugar to melt it again.

1) Put sugar and water in a pan, mix together into sugar-water sludge
2) Turn heat to medium~medium high and let the sugar melt
3) Add vanilla exctract then almonds, stir to coat them in the mixture. Let them cook until the mixture is boiling.
4) Sprinkle more sugar and a little salt on top while cooking them, stir continously to avoid burning
5) Continue until the sugar coating starts to get dry and the water has completely evaporated. Turn off the heat.
6) Remove from pan and put on plate
7) Let cool (taste one while they are still hot and burn the roof of your mouth and go OOF OW AAH)
