I don’t like peanut brittle.
I’m not sure why…because I love everything else about peanuts, but for some reason, peanut brittle is not my jam.
However, this buttery Almond Brittle Crunch Recipe is my jam. Like really, really my jam.
First, it is SUPER easy to make. No candy thermometer. No special pan. No Aunt Edna’s secret recipe.
Second, it takes only four ingredients.
Finally, it is FAST. In less than 10 minutes, you can have this addictive buttery-almond-yumminess in bowl next to your waiting for an episode of Scandal.
Goodbye Peanut Brittle…I’ve found a new love and she is made with almonds.
