Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the sugar and ⅓ cup water in a saucepan and slowly heat to boiling, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook sugar syrup until it reaches 240 degrees, or to soft-ball stage. Add almonds and stir to coat. Add the butter and remove from the heat. Stir until the almonds are glazed with syrup. Cook over medium-low heat until little liquid is left in the pan.
- Step 2
Add the chocolate and heat until it melts and almonds are completely coated. Set aside to cool.
- Step 3
When almonds are cool, dust from on high with the matcha to coat evenly.
