Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the blanched almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and aromatic. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the erythritol (or allulose) and butter. Melt over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to bubble.
Add the toasted almonds to the bubbling mixture. Continue to cook while stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the mixture reaches a golden amber color. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up slightly due to the baking soda, which adds a lovely airy texture to the brittle.
Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as thinly as possible with a spatula.
Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature. Once hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces.
Store the Keto Almond Brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
