Just finished making these - in fact still too hot to bottle, but have attached the pic.  Thanks for the recipe  :) I was in the process of converting my recipe which I have had since Noah built the ark, which uses massive quantities (6 cups almonds and 4 cups sugar) thankfully decided to check the forum. I omitted the spice and added the pink colouring to the  *: with other ingredients, besides I used blanched almonds as that is what I had in cupboard.  However I found DH stash of almond kernels,  so I am about to do the version without food colouring.  Cheers - Robyn  :)  :)
The pink colouring works well with raw peanuts!!!!!

I made these tonight, they crystalised at about 17 minutes, I used raw sugar and everything else in the recipe the same.

The verdict: Delicious!

i worked out this time around that if you want them to look darker and a little shiny you should stop them a little early, while they're still a little 'wet'. if you want them a bit dry and 'crystally' looking then you should keep going til you can hear the sound of the motor start to change.

Thanks Karen for the specifics re change in motor, perhaps I won't need to keep stopping thermie and judging how close the mixture resembles that of the hand stirred version in frypan in the days pre thermie.  I prefer the crystallised products but finish cooking when the nut still look a little moist particularly at the bottom of thermie.  Cheers - Robyn  :)  :)
