Making Jordan Almonds

2. Melt a generous two cups of fondant in a pot over low heat until it turns to a smooth liquid. Add foodsafe food coloring a few drops at a time, or you can use white fondant.
3. Drop four to five almonds at a time into the pot and turn with a spatula or fork to coat evenly.
4. Remove almonds one at a time and shake off excess fondant with a fork. Place almonds on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper or on a cooling rack and let the fondant harden into a candy shell.
5. Turn over to allow other side to cool. Almonds may be stored in an airtight container or gift bags when cool, and excess unheated fondant can be wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container.
Tips Warnings
If fondant sticks to the pot when you're cleaning it, fill the pot with water and bring to a boil to loosen the sugar coating. You can make your own fondant if you desire, but this is complicated and should not be attempted unless you are an experienced candy-maker.
Be careful when handling the hot fondant.
