Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Praline Delight

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring until it reaches a gentle boil.
  • Allow the mixture to boil without stirring for about 5 minutes until it turns golden amber.
  • Carefully stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream; it will bubble up vigorously.
  • Add in 1 cup of chopped mixed nuts, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt; stir until well combined.
  • Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of crushed cookies over the warm praline layer.
  • Melt ⅓ cup of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the set praline.
  • Melt ⅓ cup of white chocolate chips and drizzle over the dark chocolate.
  • Optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the top.
  • Allow to cool completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
  • Once set, break the praline into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Choose high-quality nuts and watch the boiling mixture carefully to avoid burning. Allow proper cooling for best results.
