Unless it's processed, I don't believe there are any really 'bad' foods. Enjoy everything — fat, sugar, carbs... just do it all in moderation and find the right and healthy balance of foods for you.
Ingredients
- 180 g (6½ oz/¾ cup) raw cane sugar
- 140 g (5 oz/⅔ cup/1⅓ sticks) butter
- 400 g (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 150 g (5½ oz/scant ½ cup) golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 50 g (1¾ oz/⅓ cup) chopped almonds
Instructions
Place the sugar in a saucepan and melt over a low heat. When it’s all melted and golden, add the butter, sweetened condensed milk and syrup, stirring well, then let the ingredients gently simmer over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the almonds, stir well, then allow to cool a little.
Pour into miniature paper cake cases (mini candy cups), then put in the fridge until ready to serve.
