How to Make Sweet Almond Brittle

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (at least 12 inches), combine 2 cups whole almonds, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup milk.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture turns a light golden brown and the almonds are well coated.
  5. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the brittle is deeply golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Let the brittle cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the brittle out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang.
  8. Break the brittle into pieces and serve. Enjoy as is, or crumble over ice cream and garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings.
