Hi - I made the burnt almonds yesterday (but not the semifreddo) to give out as gifts to my friends for the day of La Befana, an Italian tradition. But my almonds didn't turn out as lovely as yours with all those nice little nubs covering them. The almonds were good, crackly and sweet, but on the verge of a catastrophe, when the pot started to really blacken and. Is there some trick. What did I do wrong? I doubled the recipe, could that have been a mistake? Thanks

Wow - I just found your blog for the first time and it's terrific. Those candied almonds and the semifreddo look fantastic - I can't wait to try it. I will be a frequent visitor to your site from now on.

Merry Christmas! I made this recipe last night for Christmas Eve dinner and it was a HUGE SUCCESS! Thank you for that.
