Walnut Praline

A lovely crunch sprinkle over cakes to decorate or place on a cheese board

In a small baking tray place a piece of baking paper along the bottom
In a large saucepan sprinkle the caster sugar over the bottom and over medium to high heat
Do not stir at all as the sugar will crystalize but swirl the melting sugar around the bottom of the saucepan to disperse the heat and keeps the sugar melting.
Once the sugar has melted and and turned a lovely golden colour quickly fold in the chopped Walnuts to coat in the sugar toffee using a spatula then spread the very hot walnut toffee mixture on the baking paper and spread out as able
It doesn’t need to be a uniform shape in fact the more different end bits you have the better.
This sets pretty quickly I just wrap it up in the baking paper it is on and keep in a airtight container until I’m ready to use
To use break off big or small bits of the praline and scatter around cakes or have bigger chunks on cheese boards .
