Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 4

100g bag toasted flaked almond
100g golden caster sugar
50g butter , plus extra for greasing
½ tsp salt

Steps:

  • Lightly butter a lipped baking tray and spread the almonds over it in a thin, even layer. Put the sugar, butter, salt and 4 tbsp water into a smooth-bottomed frying pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil for about 5 mins, or until it starts to turn light golden brown. Stir every now and again as some patches will start to caramelise faster than others. Carefully tip the caramel over the nuts and leave to cool completely.
  • Once cold, shatter the caramel. An easy way to get clean sharp pieces is to put the point of a sharp knife vertically onto the caramel and bash the handle with a rolling pin, like a hammer and chisel. Serve on top of the Chocolate amaretti puddings. Keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container, interleaved with non-stick paper, in a cool, dry place (not the fridge).

Time 33m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

Reynolds Wrap® Non Stick Aluminum Foil
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon light-color corn syrup
⅓ cup lightly salted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
¼ cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Avoid splashing side of saucepan. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 290 degrees F or a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into threads that are hard but not brittle. This will take about 18 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a steady boil. Watch carefully the last 5 minutes to prevent overcooking. Remove from heat and remove the thermometer.
  • Pour into the prepared baking pan. Tilt pan to spread mixture evenly. Let stand 2 minutes. In a small bowl combine the cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Sprinkle evenly over candy mixture.
  • Set baking pan on a wire rack. Cool completely and break into large pieces to serve.
