Hazelnut turrón
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The cooking process itself is quite simple and quick, but the dessert needs to sit for about a week before serving. You'll need to be patient and carefully hide the dessert in the refrigerator from children and certain adults (who can't resist anything sweet). You can add various nuts to taste, as well as honey and sugar. The result is a dessert so delicious you'll want to lick your fingers. The ready dessert can now be served.
