Almond Crunch

Ok, we might be exaggerating a bit, but when you're faced with choices like chocolate chip, blueberry and asiago before 8 a.m., it can get overwhelming.

Recipe Summary Almond Crunch

I am begged for this recipe whenever I serve it. My advice: Invest in a good candy thermometer and always, always, always use good ingredients. Do not use margarine as a substitute for the butter; the water content is too high.

Ingredients | Cinnamon Crunch Bagel Panera Nutrition

1 cup blanched slivered almonds

1 cup butter

1 ¼ cups white sugar

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

2 tablespoons water

2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.

Line a jelly roll pan with foil.

In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil, without stirring, to hard crack stage, 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat.

Working quickly, stir in almonds, and pour mixture into foil lined jelly roll pan; tip pan from side to side to spread candy evenly in pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over candy brittle. Let stand about 5 minutes, or until shiny and soft. Spread chocolate evenly over candy. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Break into bite-size pieces.
