Why do the almonds need to look dry in the first step?

Stirring until the almonds look dry ensures the sugar crystallizes around them, creating the initial coating before they become glossy.

How do I know when the German Almonds are glossy enough?

After the sugar crystallizes and the heat is lowered, continue stirring until the sugar melts again, forming a smooth, shiny, caramelized coating on the almonds.

Is it important to cool the German Almonds completely?

Yes, allowing them to cool completely on a prepared pan prevents sticking and ensures they achieve their desired crunchy texture before storing.

Can I use a different type of sugar for these German Almonds?

This recipe specifies raw sugar, which helps achieve the characteristic caramelized coating. Other sugars might alter the texture or cooking time.

How should I store these German Almonds?

Once completely cooled, store the German Almonds in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
