Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2oz/213g) slivered almonds
- 2 cups (16oz/450g) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (1/2oz/14g) butter
- 1/2 cup (4floz/115ml) water
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
- 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Butter the parchment. Set aside for later.

In a medium sauce pan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat. Allow the sugar to dissolve and once it does you can then bring the mix to a simmer. Brush down the sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystals from forming.
- 4
Simmer without stirring until the caramel is deep amber in color, roughly 10-15 minutes.
- 5
Straight away turn off the heat and add in the butter and almonds, coating them in caramel.
- 6
Immediately pour the praline onto the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to touch the caramel.

Once hardened break into pieces and either eat as-is or add it to my Homemade Praline Fudge (COMING SOON!). Store the praline in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
