<p>Traditional Maltese Kwarezimal have a crunchy outside and a softer middle. The dough is really quick and easy to make and a simple process, overall. They are slightly similar to the filling in Maltese <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/holiday-season/traditional-maltese-figolli/amp/">figolli</a>, both in taste and texture. As someone who LOVES figolli, this is wonderful to me! They are traditionally enjoyed throughout the months of March and April, so make a batch and indulge.</p>

		<ol><li data-step-index="0" id="mv_create_47_1">Preheat oven to 175°c. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.</li><li data-step-index="1" id="mv_create_47_2">In a large bowl, mix the almonds, sugar, cocoa and spices together until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining wet ingredients together.</li><li data-step-index="2" id="mv_create_47_3">Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, a little at a time until it forms a dough by hand. You might not need to use all of the wet mixture.</li><li data-step-index="3" id="mv_create_47_4">Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a log shape. (Do not flatten, it will spread out in the oven on its own). Make horizontal criss-cross dents on the top with the back of a knife.</li><li data-step-index="4" id="mv_create_47_5">Bake for around 12-14 minutes in the middle rack, then move to a higher rack and bake for another 2-4 minutes. Do not over-bake or it will harden. Take out of the oven and brush immediately with honey. Sprinkle the tops with chopped roasted almonds.</li><li data-step-index="5" id="mv_create_47_6">Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!</li></ol>	</div>
