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
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, light corn syrup, and salt.
Step 3
Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 4
Insert a candy thermometer into the pan and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring.
Step 5
Continue to cook the sugar mixture until it reaches a temperature of 300°F (149°C), also known as the hard crack stage.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and slivered almonds.
Step 7
Immediately stir in the baking soda, which will cause the mixture to bubble. Stir just until well combined.
Step 8
Carefully pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible with a spatula.
Step 9
Let the almond brittle cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
Once hardened, break the brittle into small pieces and store it in an airtight container.
