Chocolate, in all of its glorious forms, may rule the world of confections, but sometimes even the most hardcore chocoholic might want something a little bit different. Those are the times when it pays to look into some other sweet treats.
Nuts are always good for snacking, and candied nuts are even better. Almonds, cashews, and pecans all lend themselves to caramelization. Candied pecans are fantastic treat; crunchy, sweet, and flavorful, they can satisfy any sweet tooth. Almonds lend themselves especially well to cinnamon roasting; a cinnamon roasted almond is truly fantastic sweet treat.
Pralines are always delicious, as are toffees. For a more exotic sweet treat, try Turkish delight. Start with the traditional rosewater flavor, and move over to lemon. If you like those, Turkish delight is great with almonds or pistachios.
And when you’ve sampled the sweet treats of the world, you can always come back to chocolate.
