Well, I yesterday I made an amazing Carmel Praline Crunch (which is actually just peanut brittle with Hazelnuts) and even though I am dieting, I couldn't help but nibble on it as I past by. (*side note David just came home from class and took a nibble of the "hazelnut brittle" as I was writing and said "Mmmm that's really good.." which is my favorite thing to hear in the kitchen) I would take a picture of it but we ate it all....
whoops. One break from a diet isnt that bad right?
My hazelnut praline crunch turned out so well that tonight I decided I would create the Buttercream and finally put it all together to create the "Ultimate Praline Buttercream!" While thinking about how I am working through the book, I decided to try the alternative recipe for the Buttercream called "Neoclassic Buttercream" and let me tell you, this is a disgusting recipe. I would even go as far as to say it qualifies as an "epic fail." It tasted like I was eating pure butter with funky chunks of what could have been something good if you can get around the straight up butter taste that saturates your mouth. yuck.
I pitched the whole recipe and will go back to the first recipe for Buttercream in the morning and maybe add the left over strawberry puree to it to make it my own special treat for my co workers.
