巧克力杏仁黄油太妃糖食谱
虽然巴黎总是美丽,但是当冬天到来时,这座城市变得相当寒冷和灰色 - 称为la grisaille. In fact, it’s so cold that I refuse to go outside until spring. Believe me, all those romantic photos of Paris you see are taken during the spring and fall are very deceptive. And although it’s very pretty, it would take a mighty big莱维尔(撬棍)这些日子里有一些时间让我在户外。
尽管如此,这是糖果季节 - 虽然不是总是吗?煮一批太妃糖,然后将其倒在烤坚果上,然后在巧克力上撒上一批节日,这使我感到内心充满温暖和舒适。
If you’ve never made candy, this one is really simple and incredibly delicious, so there’s no reason not to try a batch. You chop nuts, make a syrup, and then you pour the syrup over the nuts. Sprinkle some chocolate over it, spread it out, and finish it with more nuts. That’s it. There are no fancy techniques and the only special equipment you’ll need is a candy thermometer; they’re easily found在线的, and in most supermarkets.
我喜欢添加Fleur de sel, French salt, which gives it a pleasant salty edge which is divine with the dark chocolate and toasty nuts (any coarse salt can be used). Although you can use chips, you can also chop up a block of dark chocolate, instead. In the end, you’ll have a scrumptious batch of chocolate almond buttercrunch toffee, which makes for great gift-giving around the holidays, or just to snack on with friends and family. Enjoy!
