How to Make Almond Butter Crunch
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer. This is the hard-crack stage.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the top, pressing them gently into the mixture.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 1 hour, or until completely hardened.
- Once completely cooled, break the almond butter crunch into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
