Ingredients

• 1 cup Cane sugar
• 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 cup Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chopped almonds
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cane sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring the mixture to a boil without stirring further.

Step 3

Once boiling, allow the mixture to boil until it reaches a deep amber color, or 300°F on a candy thermometer (this should take about 10-15 minutes).

Step 4

Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, dairy-free butter, and baking soda. The mixture will foam up slightly; stir to combine well.

Step 5

Immediately pour the hot brittle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a heatproof spatula.

Step 6

While the brittle is still hot, sprinkle the dairy-free dark chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for a minute or so, then spread the melted chocolate over the brittle using a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the melted chocolate, pressing lightly to adhere them to the chocolate layer.

Step 8

Finally, sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the almonds and chocolate.

Step 9

Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Step 10

Once fully set, break the brittle into pieces and store them in an airtight container.
