Almond Brittle
Add a little crunch to your cookie tins, or simply serve in a beautiful crystal bowl. This candy is simple to make and it is really tasty. I use it along with Peppermint Bark to accent my cookie tins and cookie plates during the holiday season. Kept in an airtight container, it lasts forever. (not exactly forever)
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 cup chopped or slivered almonds
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp butter
Butter a cookie sheet.
In a sauce pan, cook sugar, corn syrup and water until it reaches the hard crack stage. (Mixture will separate into hardened threads.)
Add almonds, stirring constantly. Cook until syrup is golden. Remove sauce pan from heat. Add baking soda, vanilla and butter.
Stir until butter melts. Pour onto prepared sheet. Spread out evenly with a rubber spatula.
Allow to harden and break into random pieces.
Enjoy!
