Molasses Candies (Knäck)

An easy and yummy sounding little treat! Old Fashioned Swedish candy, but I'm not sure of the yield as it only states 4 servings. What is serving size? Depends on how good it is! Posted for ZWT9 Scandinavia.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup sugar
• 1  cup molasses
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1  cup heavy cream
• 1⁄3 cup  blanched almond, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Mix sugar, molasses, butter and cream in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat until mixture comes to soft ball stage (mixture forms soft balls when dropped into cold water).
2. Add almonds, stirring to combine. Pour immediately into small foil candy cups. (The recipe booklet shows her using two spoons to put the mixture in the cups) . This is probably messy!
3. Allow to set.
