How to Make Sweet Almond Brittle
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
- 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.
- Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the brittle is deeply golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the brittle cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the brittle out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang.
- Break the brittle into pieces and serve. Enjoy as is, or crumble over ice cream and garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings.
