Are you craving something sweet and nutty? Look no further! In this recipe guide, we will take you through the step-by-step process of making almond brittle, a delightful crunchy treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So let’s get started!

Gathering the Ingredients

To make almond brittle, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of almonds
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

Make sure you have all of these ingredients ready before you begin.

Preparing the Almonds

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Once toasted, remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Set them aside for later.

Making the Almond Brittle

Now it’s time to make the almond brittle! Follow these steps:

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, water, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Once the sugar has dissolved, use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Cook the mixture until it reaches 300°F (150°C), also known as the hard crack stage. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  3. Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble, so be cautious.
  4. Immediately add the chopped almonds to the mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
  5. Pour the hot mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it out into a thin layer.
  6. Allow the almond brittle to cool completely, undisturbed, for about 30 minutes. It will harden as it cools.
  7. Once cooled and hardened, break the almond brittle into bite-sized pieces for easy enjoyment.
