Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Molasses Candy with Almonds.
Step 1
Start by combining the light molasses, heavy whipping cream, white sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a medium-sized pot. Stir the mixture well to ensure everything is blended together smoothly. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Keep an eye on it as it heats up!
Step 2
Once boiling, continue to cook the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 251 degrees F (122 degrees C). This process usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes. To check if it's ready, drop a small amount of the syrup into a glass of cold water. If it forms a firm but pliable ball, you’re good to go!
Step 3
When the candy reaches the right consistency, carefully remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the chopped almonds and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is evenly distributed. The aroma will be heavenly!
Step 4
Now comes the fun part! Spoon the warm candy mixture into small paper candy cups. Allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, store your delicious molasses candies in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your sweet creation!
