To make praline, line an oven tray with baking paper. Spread nuts on tray in a single layer.
Stir sugar and 60ml (¼ cup) water in a medium heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Use a wet pastry brush to brush down any stray sugar crystals on side of pan. Bring mixture to the boil. Boil for 7 minutes, without stirring, until golden. Carefully pour caramel over nuts on prepared tray. Cool until set, then break into pieces. Set aside.
To make the base, preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 20cm x 30cm slice pan with melted butter and line with baking paper, extending over sides by 5cm.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar (on medium-high speed) until pale and fluffy. Stir in combined sifted remaining ingredients. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Prick all over with a fork.
Bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool

Chris and Sam admit they made up their application form MKR
Sam and I made up our entire application price's – it was a whole lot of lies to get us on the show
He added ” We said we cooked for our families all the time, but we hadn't cooked together
before the show. My dad never thought I could cook – he still doesn't
To think two non-cooks made it to finals week thats amazing ! Which raises the question
are they actually cousins? And isn’t Chris going into a catering business with Kerrie?
