Frequently Asked Questions About Almond candy
What is almond candy made of?
Almond candy is a sweet confection made with almonds and sugar. Depending on the style, the almonds may be whole, chopped, or ground, and the finished candy may have a crisp coating or a softer texture.
How do you make almond candy at home?
You can make almond candy by coating almonds with cooked sugar syrup or by mixing ground almonds with sugar and shaping the mixture. These methods produce different textures, so choose a recipe that matches the kind of candy you want.
Is almond candy the same as marzipan?
No, almond candy is not always marzipan. Marzipan is a pliable paste made mainly from ground almonds and sugar, while almond candy is a broader category that can also include whole almonds coated in sugar.
How should you store almond candy?
Store almond candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Moisture can make a sugar coating sticky, while exposure to air and strong odors can affect the almonds’ flavor.
Does almond candy go bad?
Yes, almond candy can go stale or rancid over time because almonds contain oils. Discard it if it smells stale or paint-like, tastes bitter, or shows signs of mold or moisture damage.
Can you freeze almond candy?
Yes, almond candy can be frozen in an airtight container, though condensation may soften or turn its sugar coating sticky as it thaws. Let it come to room temperature while still covered to limit moisture on the surface.
Why does homemade almond candy turn sticky?
Homemade almond candy often turns sticky when its sugar coating absorbs moisture from the air. Store it in a tightly sealed container in a dry place, and avoid handling it with wet hands.
Can you make almond candy without sugar?
Yes, you can make an almond-based sweet with a sugar substitute, but it may not form the same crisp coating as traditional almond candy. Use a recipe designed for that sweetener rather than substituting it directly in a sugar-syrup recipe.
Is almond candy okay for people with diabetes?
Almond candy contains sugar and can raise blood glucose, so people with diabetes should take its carbohydrate content and portion into account. A clinician or dietitian can advise how it fits with an individual’s glucose targets and treatment.
What is the difference between Jordan almonds and other almond candy?
Jordan almonds are a particular kind of almond candy: whole almonds covered in a hard sugar shell, often served at celebrations. Other almond candies can use chopped or ground almonds and may have a softer or less heavily coated finish.

What is Almond candy?
Almond candy is a sweet confection made with almonds and sugar. Depending on the recipe, the almonds may be whole, chopped or ground, giving the candy anything from a crisp bite to a denser, softer texture. Its toasted, nutty flavour comes through beneath the sweetness.
It is enjoyed as a small treat in many places, often alongside coffee or tea, and may also be served at celebrations or given as a gift. Almond candy is energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from carbohydrates and fat; a 100 g portion provides 470 kcal. A modest piece is an easy way to enjoy it, and unsweetened tea or coffee balances its sweetness.
