Instructions

Toast the hazelnuts dry in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until they give off an almond-like aroma.
Let them cool a little, then roughly chop them.
In a saucepan, mix the sugar, water and honey, then bring to a boil without stirring.
Let it cook until you have a light golden caramel, around 118 °C on a thermometer.
Off the heat, stir in the hazelnuts, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Pour the mixture onto a sheet of oiled baking paper and spread it out quickly.
Let it cool completely, then break into pieces or cut into small squares.
If you like, dip some of the pieces in the melted chocolate and let them dry.
