Almond Brittle

by cook Penzeys Archived Recipes

Tam describes this as “the easiest, most addictive substance in the known universe.”

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups slivered almonds
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1 TB. corn syrup
1/4 tsp. CINNAMON (optional)

Directions

Combine all of the ingredients in a large, nonstick frying pan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly. It will get thicker and fluffy right before it begins changing color, around 5 minutes. Start timing once the butter is completely melted. It will be slightly tan in color when done. Pour immediately into an 8x8 baking pan lined with buttered aluminum foil. Let set for 15 minutes then remove from the pan. Let cool completely before breaking apart. The edge of a cast iron pan works well for breaking the brittle.

Prep. time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
Serves: 4-6
