Caramel Brittle Recipe

Ingredients

Caramel brittle requires relatively few ingredients: butter, light corn syrup, granulated white sugar, baking soda, and your choice of flavoring (vanilla extract or almond extract).

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes without stirring.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and flavoring. The mixture will become foamy. Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it out evenly.

4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

5. Once cool, break the brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Tips

Make sure to stir constantly while boiling the mixture. If it boils too long, it will become too hard. Work quickly when spreading the mixture on the baking sheet, as it will start to harden quickly.
