CHOCOLATE-COVERED ALMOND PRALINES
In candy-making, the goal is usually to prevent caramel from crystallizing. For this recipe, that's exactly what you want to do to in order to create the grainy, sandy-sugary coating beneath the chocolate. The pralines are also delicious when made with hazelnuts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 235 degrees, about 3 minutes.
- Add toasted nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to crystallize, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Continue to cook, stirring, until sugar forms a thin, sandlike coating on nuts, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly.
- Working in batches, sift nuts in a colander to remove excess sugar, and transfer nuts to a large bowl. Add chocolate, stirring to coat nuts completely. Pour mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and separate clusters into individual nuts using a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Toss pralines with cocoa in a large bowl, tapping off excess. Fill 75 mini baking cups with 4 pralines each.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
- Butter a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Spread toasted almonds in an even layer on pan. Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan; stir to combine. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, brushing down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystals from forming. Once sugar is dissolved, cook without stirring until sugar is deep amber. Add lemon juice; immediately pour over almonds, coating with a thin layer. If caramel doesn't cover all the nuts, tilt pan slightly to distribute, or stir in nuts with a wooden spoon, being careful not to touch caramel or hot pan. Cool completely. Gently twist pan to release praline. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

ALMOND COOKIES WITH PRALINE CHOCOLATE FILLING
Steps:
- Cookies: Beat together the butter, salt, sugars, flavorings, egg, and yolk. Add the flour(s) and mix until well combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, or until the dough is easy to handle. Press 1 teaspoonful of dough into the bottom and up the sides each mold. Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 7 to 9 minutes. The cookies will be very lightly browned around the edges. Cool slightly, then tap the molds firmly to remove the cookies. Cool the cookies completely on a rack; they'll become crisp. Filling: Melt the praline paste and chocolate together in a double boiler or in a microwave on low power. Spread the flat side of half the cookies with 1/2 teaspoon of filling. Sandwich pairs of cookies, pressing the halves together gently. Allow to stand until the filling is set, several hours at (cool) room temperature or 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
