Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Almonds, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir continuously as the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bottom.

Step 4

Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This will take about 8-10 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches 300°F, quickly remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sliced almonds, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 6

Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula before it begins to set.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let them sit for 1-2 minutes to soften. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.

Step 8

Allow the brickle to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Step 9

Once hardened, break the almond brickle into pieces of your desired size and store in an airtight container.
