Critical Success Points

  • Do not burn the almonds and hazelnuts during roasting.
  • Achieve an amber caramel color without letting the sugar blacken.
  • Coat the dried fruits quickly to prevent the caramel from hardening before mixing.

Safety Warnings

  • The caramel reaches very high temperatures; handle with kitchen gloves and avoid any contact with skin.
  • Use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the hot pan.
