Substitute pecans, walnuts, peanuts, or pine nuts for almonds, if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup light-colored corn syrup |
3/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds, toasted |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Combine sugar and syrup in a 2-quart glass bowl. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes (sugar mixture will be clear and bubbly). Stir in almonds. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes or until mixture is a light caramel color, stirring every minute. Stir in butter, vanilla, and salt. Microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until mixture is the color of peanut butter. Add baking soda, and stir until texture is foamy. Quickly pour mixture onto prepared pan. Spread to 1/4-inch thickness. Let stand 30 minutes. Break brittle into pieces, and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
