Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole almonds
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (soy-free)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue to cook, without stirring, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Immediately stir in the whole almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Quickly pour the hot brittle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the brittle to cool for about 10 minutes, then sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top.
Wait about 2 minutes for the chocolate chips to soften, then spread the melted chocolate over the brittle with a spreader or knife.
Cool the almond-covered chocolate brittle completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker cooling.
Once set, break the brittle into pieces and serve.
