This Smoked Almond Brittle is a PCOS-friendly recipe.
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup, plus 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 3/4 cup smoked almonds
- Sea salt
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick silicone mat and lightly butter.
- In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil until it registers 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Transfer the almonds to the oven on another large-rimmed baking sheet until warmed through, but not toasted.
- When the syrup reaches 239 degrees F, stir the almonds into the syrup with 1 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the syrup is 300 degrees F and a rich caramel color; immediately stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
- Pour the brittle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, folding the border back towards the middle to distribute the heat evenly. Cool completely at room temperature and break into pieces.
