Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup gluten-free semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and water over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F on the thermometer, which is the hard crack stage. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches 300°F, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully stir in the salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Quickly pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the gluten-free semisweet chocolate chips over the hot brittle. Allow them to sit for about 2 minutes to melt.

Step 8

Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly across the brittle surface.

Step 9

While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly across the top.

Step 10

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature, letting the chocolate and almonds set, about 1 hour.

Step 11

Once set, break the brittle into pieces with your hands.

Step 12

Store the brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
