These candies are often served during the Christmas season, especially in Germany and Austria, but you can enjoy them any time of the year. They're a perfect treat for those with a sweet tooth and are easy to make at home in just a few steps.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, combine ground almonds, powdered sugar, and rose water.
2.	Beat egg white until stiff, and gradually incorporate with the almond mixture until it forms a sticky dough.
3.	Shape the mixture into small potato-shaped balls with your hands.
4.	Roll each ball in Dutch-processed cocoa powder to give it a potato-like appearance.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Almonds are high in healthy fats, fiber, protein, and various important nutrients.
They have been shown to help lower blood sugar levels, reduce blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels. However, since this recipe contains lots of powdered sugar, it still should be consumed in moderation.

	1 large egg white
	Dutch-processed cocoa powder
