Ingredients
  

  • Granulated sugar = 1 cup
  • Roasted hazelnuts = 1/2 cup
  • Unsalted butter = 1 tablespoon

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
  • As the sugar melts, continue stirring until it turns golden brown and reaches a caramel consistency
  • Quickly stir in roasted hazelnuts and unsalted butter until well combined
  • Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin layer using the back of the spoon or spatula
  • Allow the Krokan to cool completely at room temperature until hard and brittle
  • Once cooled, break into small pieces or shards
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan for even heat distribution.
  • Stir the sugar gently and watch closely as it turns golden.
  • Don’t walk away—caramel can burn very quickly.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  • Use freshly roasted almonds for the best taste.
  • Pour onto parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Let it cool completely before breaking into pieces.
