Ingredients for Chocolate Almond Brittle Recipe

  • 1 cup Roasted Almonds, Chopped
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 4 ounce Semi Sweet Chocolate, Melted

Directions: Chocolate Almond Brittle Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the almonds on a baking sheet. Toast them for about 10 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • STEP 2.In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and corn syrup, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  • STEP 3.Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a golden brown color and reaches a temperature of 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • STEP 4.Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
  • STEP 5.Immediately pour the hot mixture onto a greased baking sheet or a silicone mat. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer.
  • STEP 6.While the brittle is still hot, sprinkle the chopped almonds evenly over the top, pressing them gently into the mixture.
  • STEP 7.Allow the brittle to cool completely and harden at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
  • STEP 8.Once the brittle has hardened, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
  • STEP 9.Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brittle, using a spoon or a piping bag. Let the chocolate set completely before breaking the brittle into pieces.
  • STEP 10.Store the chocolate almond brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Cooking Tips

  • Be careful when working with hot sugar as it can cause severe burns. Use oven mitts and caution.
  • Toasting the almonds before adding them to the brittle enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch.
  • Make sure to spread the brittle mixture out quickly and evenly before it hardens.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding other ingredients like dried fruits or sprinkling sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle.

Storage and Serving

  • You can also package the brittle in decorative bags or jars to give as gifts.
