Preheat oven to 300oF. Bake the almonds until dry but not brown. Boil

prevent burning. Cook until the syrup becomes light brown. Add dried

praline becomes hard, break it into small pieces. Process the pieces with
the steel blade, until all is pulverized.

Good for sprinkling on cakes, puddings, etc.
