Praline Caramels

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Be patient, as this process can take around 10-15 minutes.

2. 2

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the caramel turns a deep amber color.

   Tip: Be careful, as the mixture will bubble vigorously and may splatter.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in the unsalted butter, praline syrup, and sea salt until the butter has melted.

   Tip: Use caution, as the mixture will be hot and may splash.

4. 4

   Let the caramel cool slightly, then whisk in the egg yolks until fully incorporated.

   Tip: Be gentle, as the mixture may break if whisked too vigorously.

5. 5

   Pour the caramel into a lined or greased 20x20cm baking dish. Allow the caramel to set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch.

   Tip: It's essential to let the caramel set slowly and evenly, as it will be difficult to cut if it sets too quickly.

6. 6

   Once set, remove the caramel from the baking dish and cut into desired shapes. Serve and enjoy!

   Tip: Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to get clean cuts.

7. 7

   If desired, roll the caramel pieces in additional praline or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

   Tip: This step is optional, but adds a nice crunch to the caramel.
