Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Toast the Almonds

Spread 1 cup of almonds on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.

2
Prepare the Caramel

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

3
Caramelize the Sugar

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Cook until the syrup turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.

4
Add Almonds and Butter

Carefully stir in the toasted almonds and 2 tablespoons of butter into the caramelized sugar. Mix quickly to coat the almonds evenly.

5
Spread and Cool

Immediately pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet or silicone mat. Spread into an even layer and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Allow to cool and harden completely.

6
Break into Pieces

Once cooled, break the almond brittle into pieces using a knife or your hands.
