Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crunchy Almond Brittle.
Step 1
Start by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper, creating a smooth surface for your brittle to cool on. This simple step ensures easy removal later on!
Step 2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it’s bubbling and fragrant. Once melted, add in the almonds, sugar, and light corn syrup. Stir the mixture gently, allowing the almonds to toast and the sugar to dissolve. Keep an eye on it as you cook, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a beautiful caramel color, which should take about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Once your mixture reaches that perfect golden hue, pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out into a thin, even layer, making sure the almonds are well distributed. Let it cool completely until it hardens. This is the hardest part—waiting!
Step 4
When the brittle is fully set, break it into pieces and serve. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and sweet flavor, or package it up as a delightful homemade gift for friends and family.
