What Is Almond and Chocolate Brittle?

Almond and Chocolate Brittle is a type of candy bark made by combining melted chocolate with toasted nuts—in this case, almonds—and allowing it to harden into a slab that can be broken into pieces. It blends the crisp texture of roasted nuts with the smooth richness of chocolate for a satisfyingly snappy bite. Unlike traditional sugar brittle, which is cooked to a caramel stage, this version skips the stovetop sugar syrup and uses chocolate as the binding base, making it faster and easier to prepare. It’s a modern, no-fuss take on a classic sweet.

How to Make Almond and Chocolate Brittle

Start by roasting the almonds. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly.

Meanwhile, melt both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Once the chocolate is melted, add the roasted almonds and mix thoroughly to coat each nut in the glossy chocolate mixture.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate-almond mixture onto the sheet and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula. Aim for a thickness of about 1 centimeter.

Let the brittle cool at room temperature for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, break into pieces and serve. Enjoy this crunchy, chocolatey delight as a snack, dessert, or giftable treat.
