Croccante-- Italian Almond Brittle image

This is a recipe from David Rocco's La Dolce Vita on Cooking Channel. I love this because it is a new take on standard peanut brittle, plus I'm Italian so, I'm a little biased.

3 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, add the sugar and cook on high heat. Continue to stir until the sugar begins to sweat and liquify. Add a bit of water to help, if necessary. Continue to cook until the sugar turns into a deep rich brown color.
