Almond ‘Praline’ Addiction
Rich and decadent, this almondy delight can be made in minutes and is perfect added to ice cream, given as a gift, dipped in chocolate or eaten as is.
Not strictly a praline, but certainly a delicious, crunchy, nutty, sweet, addictive treat. I added some salt (cannot help myself) but you could leave it out for a sweeter, more delicate result. This lovely stuff will stay crunchy if kept in an airtight container in the fridge and is truly a fantastic topping on a cake or cheesecake. It would also make a fab-uu-laahs gift da-ahh-ling.
