How to make flavored almonds?

Question

We got these flavored almonds (orange, raspberry) at Casa de Fruta and just love them. We go through a lot of them fast. It's too expensive and too far to buy. Does anyone know how to make them?

They look like these http://www.casadefruta.com/detail.aspx?ID=360

Swiss Almonds

Ready in: 30-60 minutes
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 4 oz

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
4 ounces almonds
4 ounces milk, semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1/2 confectioner's sugar
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon lavender or vanilla sugar
OR
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

- Toast the almonds on baking sheet for 10 minutes in a 250F oven. Let cool.
- Put the sugar and water in saucepan. Make sure there are no dry spots of sugar in the pan. Heat on high until all sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling. Do not stir up to this point.
- Add almonds and stir constantly until sugar crystallizes on almonds (sugar mixture will begin to dry and crystallize as you stir).
- Quickly toss nuts on baking sheet lined with parchment or silpat. Separate clumps of almonds into single nuts. This is easiest while the mixture is still warm, but be careful - the sugar will be very hot right off the stove!
- Melt the chocolate and allow to sit until cool to the touch. Combine the confectioner's sugar, salt and spices, if using, in a bowl. With one hand (using rubber gloves makes this easier), dip your palm in the chocolate and gently toss several almonds in your hand (as if you're about to roll dice) until coated. Toss into sugar. Shake bowl to make sure almonds stay separate.
- Using your clean hand, gently toss the sugar/chocolate coated almonds onto a clean baking sheet and let sit until set.

Answer 2

I can give you a recipe for Sugared Almonds!

First coat
7 oz (200 gr) sugar
5 fl oz (150 ml water)
4 oz (125gr) almonds

Second coat:
7 oz (200gr)sugar
5 fl oz (150ml) water

1. Dissolve the sugar into the water and bring to the boil.
2. Add the Almonds to the sugar mixture and stir off the heat until all the Almonds are coated. Quickly turn them out onto a plate and seperate to prevent them becoming one solid mass and leave to cool.
3. Once cool prepare another pan of sugar and water and give the almonds a second coat - again turn out quickly to prevent them sticking together.
4. Once cool and set these can be packaged into pretty boxes for homemade gifts.
