Making your own torrone can be straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare Nuts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread almonds and hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool.
2. Make Sugar-Honey Mixture: In a saucepan, combine sugar and honey. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.
3. Boil Mixture: Increase the heat to medium-high until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
4. Whip Egg Whites: While the sugar mixture boils, whip the egg whites in a separate bowl until they form stiff peaks. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
5. Combine Mixtures: Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from heat. Gradually pour the hot mixture over the whipped egg whites while continuously mixing.
6. Add Nuts and Flavor: Once the mixtures are combined, fold in the toasted nuts and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
7. Prepare the Mold: Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper or rice paper to prevent sticking. Dust with cornstarch.
8. Pour Mixture: Transfer the torrone mixture into the prepared mold and flatten it evenly with a spatula.
9. Cool: Allow the torrone to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours until it’s set.
10. Cut and Serve: Once cooled and set, remove the torrone from the mold, cut it into bars, and enjoy!

Each step brings you closer to savoring your homemade torrone, making the process enjoyable and rewarding.
