riv mum - This was a big hit with the kids. Just a few things I would change next time - It wasn't as smooth as I expected so would cook it a bit longer to give the sugar more time to dissolve. I reduced the sugar to 60g but could be reduced even further as it is still very sweet with the honey. It set beautifully. I used macadamias instead of hazelnuts and it tasted great. The quantity was small and barely covered the slice tray. All in all a great recipe, very easy and only a few basic ingredients needed. It would be great as a gift or part of a Christmas hamper.
Uni - I didn't use a slice tray just a cutting board then the baking paper. Very easy too, just wet hands with veg oil and shaped.
First chopped the chocolate up then blitzed the sugar with the chocolate about 4 times. I did taste a tiny bit, it's very sweet. I couldn't taste the dark chocolate at all (I'm not a fan of dark chocolate). The sugar needs to be cut back by 1/2 IMO but not sure if it would then work. It doesn't set hard, I can eat it straight from the fridge.

oh yum, I know what I'm making tomorrow!! ;D

Drool!

Thanks for trying it - I found another recipe that cooks it for a couple of hours - may be best to do a lot more than the Italians say?
-
A double recipe would fit a slice tray nicely. I had a few gaps in the corners with a single recipe.
-
So much food. So little time. Ahhhhhhh.

Bumping for Christmas ideas :)
-
Thanks for the bump, CC. That looks easy enough for me to tackle for Xmas hampers.
-
thanks from me 2 CC
-
Thanks but I saw a "quest" reviewing this and decided it looked so good it had to be bumped ;)
-
Marina, i dare you to make it ;D
-
I thought you would be first to make this one, Uni! I feel almost obliged to make it as Cremona is the only place I have been to in Italy (apart from transitting through Milano). I guess I will now have to have a go at this this weekend.
It can be great fun checking to see what our users / guests are checking out, they seem to find loads of interesting recipes that we have all forgotten about (or never knew were on here).
-
i just checked if i have any hazelnuts :-)) i do, but only for 1/2 a batch. i think i will give it a go today
-
Let me know how it goes, Uni. The thought of using macadamias appeals to me but perhaps the taste of hazlenuts would be more distinctive.
-
Another to try 😊
-
How did it go Uni - I would love to see a picture of this one
-
I'd love to see a photo too :)
I think I would like to try this recipe but I would probably use a different type of nut because no-one here likes hazelnuts :-)) When SD gets a bag of mixed nuts he feeds the hazelnuts to the dogs!
-
;D i didnt use a slice tray just a cutting broad then the baking papper very easy 2 ,just wet hands with veg oil and shape
i 1st chopped the choco up then bilzted the sugar with the choco about 4 times
i did taste a tiny bit, its very sweet ,you would love it snappy ;D
-

-

-

That was quick, Uni - looks good! Gold Star for you this morning.
-
i never did get a gold star at school :'(
-
Well you deserve TEN gold stars for that torrone Uni ;D
-
Uni the Golden - what is the white covering on the torrone? Rice paper? Icing sugar?

-
Thanks for bumping this one CC - didn't even know it was on here but another great recipe for our hampers. I would probably use macadamia nuts too, only because I hate peeling hazelnuts. I wonder how it would be with milk chocolate, I really don't like dark chocolate.
-
Its very sweet JD, i couldnt taste the dark chocolate at all. i am not a fan of dark chocolate
the sugar needs to be cut back by 1/2 IMO
-
Oh, that looks divine! How hard does it set?
Love the signature too!!!
-
i can eat it straight out of the fridge without any problems ;D
-
LOL ;D
-
Thanks Uni, obviously the amount of nuts would compensate for the fact I don't like dark chocolate. If you enjoyed it then it must be OK ;D
-
really its way to sweet JD ,i will not be making it again for my family.
-
Not even with cutting the sugar by half Uni?
-
not sure it will work JD, 1/2 is a lot to take away from a recipe
-
really its way to sweet JD ,i will not be making it again for my family.
Sorry to hear that Uni but it does look fabulous.Do you think you can reuse it some way?
-
OK, off my list Uni
-
Perhaps a tiny bit melted and put over icecream??
