                This recipe is awesome and got rave reviews from all who tried them!  I used Valrhona Manjari 64% for the chocolate and Valrhona cocoa powder.  I would not toast the almonds for 15 minutes, I think they will burn.  I did 11 minutes and they turned out perfectly.  I will make these again for sure.  A great holiday gift too.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole almonds (13 ounces)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Salt
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 235 degrees, about 3 minutes.

Add toasted nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to crystallize, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Continue to cook, stirring, until sugar forms a thin, sandlike coating on nuts, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly.

Working in batches, sift nuts in a colander to remove excess sugar, and transfer nuts to a large bowl. Add chocolate, stirring to coat nuts completely. Pour mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and separate clusters into individual nuts using a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Toss pralines with cocoa in a large bowl, tapping off excess. Fill 75 mini baking cups with 4 pralines each.

      Cook's Notes

Pralines can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature (75 degrees or lower; refrigerate if higher) for up to 2 weeks.
