  • Total Time 30 minutes
  • Yield Makes 1 sheet (about 9 by 11 inches)

Ingredients

    • 1 1/4 cups finely chopped almonds
    • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • Basic Brittle (http://www.marthastewart.com/286522/basic-brittle)

Directions

  1. Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling occasionally, until mixture just starts to turn golden around edge.
  2. Stir in mix-ins. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is pale amber, about 8 minutes. Pour onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool. Break into pieces.

Cook's Note

Brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
