Praliné grains are chopped hazelnuts cooked in caramel, the crunchy topping pastry kitchens use to finish desserts. Cacao Barry takes the caramel right to the edge, so the flavour is toasty and a little bittersweet rather than just sugary. One of our favourite things on the baking shelf.
Fold them into cookie dough or shortbread, scatter them over a frosted cake, or stir them through ice cream (or over the top). They're also good on buttered toast, the way the Dutch eat chocolate sprinkles. Or by the handful.
They arrive vacuum-packed into a solid block that loosens into crunchy bits as soon as you open it. We sell them sealed rather than repackaging them, so they stay fresh. Keep what's left airtight. Just hazelnuts and sugar, no preservatives.
