Germans love to bake, especially around Christmas. I wanted to provide you with an abundance of recipes so that you do not just have to nibble on that one cookie whilst everyone else enjoys 3 – 4. These recipes are a bit different from my usual blog posts. Shorter, with no educational parts, but a section to give you hints and tips so that they all turn out perfect. One photoshoot, 8 recipes over the next two weeks. Enjoy! 🤗

Ah – the smell of burnt-sugar almonds when you are walking across a Christmas market… 🥰. There is rarely anything better out there and something I think a lot Germans struggle to walk past at 😉. I love this time of the year and as much as these past weeks may have tested my limit on what is possible – I am so happy with the outcome, this shoot, and the accompanying recipes.

I have been making a similar version of this recipe for a few years as my husband loves nuts in any way, shape or form. Sometimes, I try to make something a bit more “special” for him, rather than having “pure nuts”. For this version, I added coconut sugar to the previous recipe which gave it a bit more crunch and that burnt-sugar feel. The spices enhance the flavor of these, which overall makes this recipe super delicious 💫.
