Almond Brittle

Almond brittle is a typical Italian sweet produced with almonds and caramelized sugar. Brittle is also prepared with dried fruit other than almonds as peanuts, walnuts and hazelnuts. The preparation is very simple, put the powdered sugar in a pan or a pot up to melt it by continuing to evenly mix with a wooden spoon, at that time the sugar will have a typical brown colour. Must be careful not to overdo it as it warms too much melted sugar tends to be bitter and dark and not being suitable for Brittle. Once this is complete add the almonds, peanuts, walnuts or hazelnuts trying to make them blend well with the caramelized sugar, extract brittle from the pot and store it in a container with the desired shape. The first evidence of the production of almond brittle is in Spain in the fifteenth century but it is believed that the almond brittle has Italian origins, more precisely in the south of Italy as a revisiting of an arabic recipe.
