  5. Take of the stove and transfer the brittle on the same parchment paper on the baking tray where the almonds were before. Level all down to one or two almonds high and let it cool.
  6. If you want to cut it in pieces do this when it is still warm. Otherwise wait that is is completely cool and break into pieces.
Recipe Notes

The cooking procedure is a little tricky. You want to mix it so nothing burns but that takes away also the temperature. At a certain point the temperature rises then very quick.

You can also cut half of the almonds in order to have a mixture between whole and cut almonds.

You could also use hazelnuts or even pistachios instead of the almonds. I don’t know how it would be with walnuts. I guess they are too soft.
