Salted Almond Brittle
This delightful Salted Almond Brittle recipe offers a unique twist on the traditional caramelized candy, inspired by the flavors of Mexico. Unlike the usual nut brittle, this version features a touch of honey and vanilla, giving it a distinctively aromatic flavor. Passed down to me through a video call from a Mexican family, this recipe—also known as “Palanquetas de Cacahuate”—is usually made with peanuts but works wonderfully with almonds. Perfect for a nostalgic, sweet crunch that brings back fond memories.
2 cups roasted almonds
2 cups sugar
1 cup honey
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roast almonds lightly, then set aside.

6. Pour onto baking sheet, sprinkle salt, and let cool.
