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
