Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Insert a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring further, until it reaches 300°F (150°C), also known as the hard crack stage.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in butter, vanilla extract, and baking soda until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot brittle. Let them sit for about 2 minutes until melted.

Step 7

Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the brittle.

Step 8

Immediately sprinkle sliced almonds and kosher salt over the chocolate, pressing them down gently so they adhere.

Step 9

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature, about 20 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Step 10

Once set and hardened, break the brittle into smaller pieces.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
