Almond Caramel Bites Recipe
I’m not a big fan of candy or sweets in general, but when it comes to this one, I can eat non stop and finish the entire batch all by myself.
And by “this” I mean :Amaretto almond caramel bites. Chewy ,creamy ,crunchy and so delicious.
Preparation is not difficult or complicated, a few steps with correct timing and temperature , that’s what matters when making any candy .
So be sure to prepare all the ingredients, tools and keep those stand by.
These almond caramel bites can be stored at room temperature up to 3-4 days, in fridge up to 2 weeks, or freeze in an airtight container
Lined with wax paper in between the candies, up to a month.
