Forks & Knives: Almond Candy Brittle!

Hello Bloggers!

After a long day at school, I got home feeling my sweet tooth asking for some loving! I wanted something sweet yet crunchy for a little snack. And suddenly it hit me! I’ll make an Almond Brittle. Now I never made this before but thought I would give it a try! It’s very simple to make and with only three ingredients. Yes, three ingredients! Now, I wouldn’t do this often only because I am trying to stay away from sweets. And that’s harder than it sounds. But once in a while it won’t do any harm. Almond brittle is great for holiday gifts as well! Once cut into bite size pieces, you can wrap them in little gift bags and tie them with colorful ribbons according to your party décor or holiday theme. If you don’t like almonds you can also change it up with peanuts or any other nut as well. Adding dried fruits or pieces of chocolate can also work!

Ingredients:

1 tsp of butter

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of almond slices

Directions:

1. Heat skillet to medium high heat and melt butter.

2. Once the butter is melted, add all of the sugar.

3. After the sugar has melted with the butter, it should have taken form of a bubbling brown liquid.

4. Fold in the almonds with a spatula and make sure everything is covered.

5. After mixing the almonds with the melted sugar, quickly transfer it over to a flat pan where you can spread it evenly. Use either aluminum foil or parchment paper so you can remove it easily.
