Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Slivered Almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, light corn syrup, and salt.
Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
Insert a candy thermometer into the pan and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring.
Continue to cook the sugar mixture until it reaches a temperature of 300°F (149°C), also known as the hard crack stage.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and slivered almonds.
Immediately stir in the baking soda, which will cause the mixture to bubble. Stir just until well combined.
Carefully pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible with a spatula.
Let the almond brittle cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once hardened, break the brittle into small pieces and store it in an airtight container.
