Critical Success Points
- • Caramelize the sugar without burning it
- • Coat the almonds quickly before the caramel hardens
- • Roll the still‑warm nougatine between two papers to prevent it from sticking
Safety Warnings
- • Caramel reaches over 170°C: handle with kitchen gloves and avoid any skin contact
- • Never touch the caramel with your fingers; in case of burn, rinse immediately with cold water
