Nut - is a fruit with a fat content. For example, fresh hazelnuts 🌰 contains of 20% -30% oil, 25% water and 50% sugar + pulp. In dried hazelnuts there is already 40-50% oil and 50% solids.
From both raw and roasted nuts we can make pasta. If you do not have the right equipment, then you can buy ready-made. We strongly recommend you carefully study the composition before buying, because industrial pastes have a completely different percentage of nuts in their composition (from 10 to 100%). And this directly affects on the quality of your product👌
We can also make pralines from nuts. Praline is a paste consisting of nuts and sugar. There may be a different ratio of these products, usually 50/50 or 60/40. You can also buy ready-made or do it yourself. I only note that cooking by yourself opens up a lot of possibilities for you: from choosing a nut and a method of preparation to flavoring with different spices.
Well and another nutty product is Gianduja. The classic recipe is milk chocolate and hazelnut praline in 1: 1 proportions. Instead of praline, you can use pure nut paste. Of course, Gianduja can be made from any nut and any chocolate. The main thing is to observe proportions👆
