ALMOND BRICKLE- EASY



Almond Brickle- Easy image

Yummy! This is my all-time favorite homemade candy. I love the combination of buttery toffee with nuts and chocolate! It's REALLY EASY to make- you don't even need a candy thermometer for this one. Sometimes I use pecans instead of almonds and I love it that way, too. Feel free to substitute your favorite nut for the almonds- just chop them up small.

ALMOND BRICKLE



Almond Brickle image

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup agave
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt (scant)
6 tablespoons cream

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and agave in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium high heat. Add the almonds and stir constantly for about 5 to 6 minutes. The mixture will darken to a rich, golden brown caramel. Do not overcook or leave unattended, as the mixture will burn easily. Remove the mixture from the flame and, still stirring, add the salt and stir the cream in slowly. The mixture will sputter and steam. Use a long handled spoon and keep face and hands away to avoid scalding. Pour the sauce into a bowl and allow to cool.NOTE: For easy cleanup, add about one inch of water to the pan and bring to simmer for about 5 minutes. The caramel will loosen and clean off easily.

The result is a crunchy, sweet treat that is sure to be a hit. While making almond brickle recipes might seem daunting, with the right tips, it can be easy and fun. Here are some valuable tips to consider when making almond brickle recipes.

Tip #1: Use quality ingredients

When making almond brickle recipes, it is important to use quality ingredients. Using fresh and good quality almonds, butter, and sugar will make a huge difference in the taste and texture of your almond brittle. Also, choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate as it has a more intense flavor that complements the buttery taste of the almond brittle.
Tip #1.1: Choosing high-quality almonds
When selecting almonds to use in your recipes, look for those that are fresh, crisp and not rancid. Rancid almonds will have a bitter taste and make your almond brickle unappetizing.
Tip #1.2: Using good-quality butter
Butter is the main ingredient in almond brickle recipes, and it adds richness and flavor. It is crucial to use high-quality butter made from fresh and cream. Choose unsalted butter as it allows you to control the salt content in your recipe.
Tip #1.3: Picking high-quality sugar
When it comes to sugar, select white granulated sugar instead of brown sugar as brown sugar will affect the color of your almond brickle. Use fresh sugar, as old sugar can harden and change the texture of your candy.

Tip #2: Take your time

Making almond brickle requires a bit of patience and attention to detail. Take your time when making it, and don't rush the process. Rushing can lead to a burnt or grainy texture, which will affect the overall taste of your almond brittle.
Tip #2.1: Heating the ingredients slowly
Start by slowly heating your ingredients over low to medium heat. Avoid high heat, as it can scorch the mixture and affect the taste. It is also important to stir the mixture continuously to help distribute the heat evenly.
Tip #2.2: Using a candy thermometer
Using a candy thermometer is essential when making almond brickle. Monitor the temperature of the mixture closely and remove it from heat once it reaches the right temperature. The ideal temperatures for almond brickle is between 290 - 310°F.
Tip #2.3: Working quickly
Once you get the desired temperature, it's time to work quickly. Pour the mixture onto your greased baking sheet and spread it out as fast as possible. The almond brickle mixture will start to harden as it cools, so you need to move fast.

Tip #3: Use the right tools

Having the right tools can make the process of making almond brickle much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Tip #3.1: Using a heavy-bottomed pot
Using a heavy-bottomed pot is essential when making almond brickle. It helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents your mixture from burning.
Tip #3.2: Using a silicone spatula
A flexible silicone spatula is a great tool for making almond brickle recipes. It allows you to scrape the sides of the pot, helping you to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the mixture from burning.
Tip #3.3: Using a baking sheet
Using a baking sheet that is greased with butter or cooking spray is crucial when making almond brickle. It stops the mixture from sticking to the sheet and helps to shape your candy.

Tip #4: Storing your almond brickle

Properly storing your almond brickle ensures that it stays crunchy and fresh.
Tip #4.1: Storing in an airtight container
Store your almond brickle in an airtight container to prevent it from becoming soft and chewy.
Tip #4.2: Keeping in a cool and dry place
Keep your almond brickle in a cool and dry place. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator as it can make it become soft.
Tip #4.3: Separating layers with parchment paper
If you need to stack your almond brickle, separate each layer with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking to each other.

Conclusion

Making almond brickle recipes involves patience, time and the right ingredients and tools. Following the tips mentioned above will help you to create a delicious and crunchy almond brickle that will impress your guests, friends and family. Remember to keep your almond brickle in a cool and dry place and enjoy it within a reasonable amount of time.
