Guittard Caramelized Almond & Sesame Milk Chocolate Spread
Toasted sesame seeds boost the nutty flavor in this praline spread. When paired with Guittard Soleil d’Or 38% Milk Couverture Chocolate, the flavor expands exponentially, inviting notes of toasted almonds and delicate nods of malt, caramel and sesame. Best used at room temperature as a spread on a rustic sourdough bread, or possibly paired with a stone fruit compote.
