Hazelnut pralines are a classic sweet treat that date back to 17th century France. They are made from s and caramelized sugar, giving them a delightful crunchy texture and nutty flavor. They are perfect for gifting or as a special indulgence for yourself – and the good news is, they are very easy to make at home!

Ingredients:
• 1 cup hazelnuts
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread your hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and toast them for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool.

2. Once your hazelnuts have cooled, you’ll want to remove as much of the skins as possible. This can be a bit tedious, but it’s worth it to get that smooth, sleek finish on your pralines. You can do this by rubbing the hazelnuts between two kitchen towels, or by placing them in a tea towel and rubbing them that way. Don’t worry if you can’t get all the skins off, just try your best.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then place the pan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring and let it cook until it turns a deep amber color, which should take about 8 minutes.

4. Once your caramel has reached the right color, turn the heat down to low and stir in your unsalted butter until it’s melted and fully incorporated.

5. Add your hazelnuts to the caramel and stir to coat them completely. Quickly pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and it out as evenly as possible.

6. Let the praline cool completely, then break it into smaller pieces with your hands or a knife. (If it’s too hard to break, you can put it in the freezer for a few minutes to make it easier.) Store your hazelnut pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Tips:

• If you want to spice up your hazelnut pralines, try adding some cinnamon or cardamom to the caramel mixture before adding the hazelnuts.
• To make your pralines look even fancier, you can dip them in melted after they’ve cooled and hardened.
• If you don’t have hazelnuts on hand, you can use almonds or pecans instead.

Hazelnut pralines make a great gift for any occasion, but they are also a indulgence that you can treat yourself to. And with this easy recipe, you’ll be able to make them whenever you want!
