Ingredients for Almond Crunch Candy

  • 1 sleeve (approximately 16) graham crackers
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

How to Make Almond Crunch Candy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Evenly sprinkle slivered almonds over the graham crackers.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and boil for exactly 4 minutes.
  5. Carefully pour the hot brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers and almonds.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break into pieces or cut into squares while still slightly warm for even sizes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
