Krokan Recipe
Discover how to make the perfect krokan recipe with this easy, step-by-step guide. Delight in every crunchy bite!
Equipment
- Heavy bottom saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Baking sheet
- Candy thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Get Ready to Caramelize
- Gather all your ingredients.
- Prepare the baking sheet by greasing it lightly.
- Don’t rush the caramelization; the sugar needs to melt evenly for that perfect golden hue.
Combine Ingredients
- In your saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and butter.
- Over medium-low heat, stir the sugar until it melts.
Let the Magic Happen
- Continue cooking until the mixture reaches the ‘hard crack’ stage or 300°F on your candy thermometer.
- Stir in the slivered almonds.
- It’s crucial to get the temperature just right—too hot, and it will burn; too cool, and it won’t set properly.
The Final Touch
- Immediately take it off the heat and stir in the baking soda.
- Pour the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
Notes
- Speed is Key: Once you add the baking soda, work fast! The mixture will start setting as it cools.
- Storage: Store krokan in an airtight container to keep it crispy and delicious.
