Turrón
Description
Turrón is traditionally made with almonds. However, if desired, you can add raisins, dried fruits, or other nuts to the mixture. To make it easier to remove the turrón from the mold, you can use a silicone mold or a regular baking pan. The turrón sets relatively quickly, depending on its thickness.
