How to Make Chocolate Almond Brittle
- Grease a metal baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- In a 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Mix well with a whisk or spoon.
- Microwave on high for 4 minutes, then stir.
- Add 1 cup slivered almonds and microwave on high for another 4 minutes. Stir well.
- Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam up quickly.
- Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly and evenly.
- Let cool completely until hardened (at least 1-2 hours).
- Break the brittle into 2-inch pieces.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip one side of each brittle piece into the melted chocolate and place it on waxed paper to harden.
