Croccante-- Italian Almond Brittle
"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."

- 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.
- Add the almonds and mix well. Cook for a few minutes, making sure the almonds are fully coated. Remove the almonds from the heat and quickly pour and spread the hot almond-sugar mixture onto a buttered cookie sheet to the desired thickness.
- Let cool for 30 minutes before breaking it into smaller pieces.

This amount of brittle might have served just 4 of you, but the 2 of us managed a lot more than just 4 servings, & it was just the 2 of us, over the past week, who thoroughly enjoyed eating it! It's one of those recipes I look forward to making again & again during the end-of-year holidays! Thanks so much for sharing it!
