Cinnamon Almond Brittle Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 16 Servings
30 30

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Butter two baking sheets and keep warm in a 200° oven. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 240° (soft-ball stage). Stir in the butter, cinnamon, salt and almonds; cook and stir until mixture reaches 300°(hard-crack stage), brushing down sides of pan with water as needed.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in baking soda and vanilla. Quickly pour onto prepared baking sheets. Spread with a buttered metal spatula to 1/4-in. thickness. Cool; break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
