Recipes Chocolate Pralines


Chocolate Pralines combine the crumbly, nutty taste of classic pralines with rich semi-sweet chocolate.These candies are a favourite on my Christmas goodies tray! They are totally addictive! Really good on top of ice cream sundaes

Ingredients
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

Preparation
1. Place almonds in a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a 300° regular or convection oven, shaking pan once, until nuts are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Coat a 12-inch square of foil lightly with vegetable oil (about 1 teaspoon).

2. In an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and milk. Stir occasionally until mixture is bubbly and golden, about 5 minutes. Add cocoa and stir until smooth, then stir in toasted almonds. Pour mixture onto oiled foil and spread about 1/4 inch thick. Let cool until solid, about 10 minutes. Break praline into 6 to 8 large chunks.
