Christmas twist on a turron

How to make a variation on a Spanish classic? The traditional Spanish turron is made with almonds, honey and egg white, then cut into rectangle shapes. Today, it is often that typical shape which inspires pastry chefs and confectioners to create different variations on the theme. In this recipe, chocolate and nuts lead the flavours. Added decoration of whole nuts and sprinkles can only enhance the eating experience.
