Salted Almond Brittle (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 cups roasted almonds.
02 -
2 cups sugar.
03 -
1 tsp vanilla extract.
04 -
1 cup honey.
05 -
Pinch of salt.
# Instructions:
01 -
Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the brittle once it has set.
02 -
In a large pan, gently warm the almonds over medium heat until they are slightly golden. Set them aside for later use.
03 -
Using the same pan, pour in the sugar and stir continuously over medium heat. After about 20 minutes, the sugar will melt and turn into a smooth liquid, taking on a honey-like appearance.
04 -
Once the sugar is fully melted, add the 1 cup of honey, continuing to stir as the mixture bubbles. Then, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
05 -
Add the roasted almonds into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Turn off the heat once everything is well combined.
06 -
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top. Allow the brittle to cool and harden completely.
07 -
Once the brittle is fully set, break it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or use a knife and pestle to create clean breaks.
