Strawberry caramel

[Lior]

I made a layer of strawberry caramel and a layer of Kerry's peanut butter in nougat-kind of like in a snickers bar. I cut into small rectangles placed half a roasted hazelnut on top, dipped in Manjari and I like it. Oh I did make a change-I used strawberry liqueur instead of water in the nougat. I will take a photo and post!

Lior that looks so good. how do you make a strawberry caramel?

[Beth Wilson]

Wow Lior! That looks great!

I was wondering what Manjari is? Is a brand of chocolate or type of chocolate? Just curious - I have never heard of it before.

Looks yummy!

Beth, Manjari is a Valrhona chocolate from Madagascar. R.

[Lior]

Manjari is a delicious 64% from Valrhona. Red fruity taste tones maybe even strawberry-ish. It is grown in Madagascar as said above and is a Criollo and trintario blend. It is beautiful and easy to use.

Strawberry caramel uses mostly pulp for the liquid. PM me for the recipe Amy!

That is a fine looking chocolate Ilana. It looks so white - did you use peanut butter in the nougat or some other nut butter?

[Lior]

I also noticed its whiteness!! I used organic natural pb! If I recall it was something like 125gr. The nougat started hardening fast so I did not mix it in thoroughly. I cooked it to 132C-is this too high?

It's been a while since I made this nougat - I seem to recall it stiffened pretty quickly when you added the PB. Might be worth seeing if taking the sugar syrup a few degrees lower makes a difference with the firmness.

I think it may help. I warmed up the pb this last time and it helped a bit but not enough!!

Did you post a recipe for this anywhere? It looks wonderful! Please send some samples or something! LOL!!!
