Almond Praline

Almond Praline is a perfect accompaniment to plain, soft chocolate or caramel, cakes or puddings. The crunch of almonds together with caramelised sugar, imparts a wonderful texture to desserts. It can also be served on its own, as a scrumptious crunchy after-meal sweet. (recipe source: Super Food Ideas Magazine)
