Almond and Hazelnut Praline
  1. 1

    Cover a plate with wax paper.

  2. 2

    Warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sugar, almonds, and hazelnuts, stirring constantly until the almonds and hazelnuts are evenly coated with caramel, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Carefully pour the nut-sugar mixture onto the wax paper—the mixture will be very hot. Let it cool for 5 to 7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Break the praline into large pieces and serve as is, or put it in a food processor with a blade and chop to your preferred texture.
