Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Prepare your workspace: Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Slowly pour in the maple syrup, stirring continuously to combine it with the melted butter. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. (5 minutes)

04

Step
7 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. (7 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly coated with the maple-sugar mixture. Remove the saucepan from the heat. (2 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes, then drop spoonfuls of the walnut mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Aim for rounded mounds, leaving a little space between each praline. (5 minutes)

07

Step
30 mins

Let the pralines cool completely until they are set and firm. This will take at least 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

08

Step

Once set, store the pralines in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming sticky.

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the syrup mixture.
If the pralines don't set up properly, try adding a bit more confectioners' sugar to the mixture.
A candy thermometer can be used to ensure the mixture reaches the perfect consistency. Aim for 235-240°F (soft-ball stage).
Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as pecans or almonds.
Dusting the finished pralines with a bit of cocoa powder adds a sophisticated touch.
