I am not seeing exact amounts for the ingredients I’m not sure how much is in each batch. Example one cup of almonds to one cup of sugar Etc can you please extend those amounts for the recipe thank you. Mac in Colorado

Good small batch recipe for 1 person. Used vanilla sea salt which was amazing and traditional raw peanuts. Already gone, it hardened in less than 5 min.

Wow, this turned out perfect! For someone who rarely has a success with online recipies, this was a pleasant crunchy surprise. (I did not have cornsyrup and adddd a little caramel syrup to wet the sugar).

Careful ladies, mine started burning just before 2 minutes. Smoke was shooting from my microwave! The texture was nice and I know I would’ve loved it if it wasn’t for the burnt taste. I will try again later and just cook to 1 min 50 seconds, and see how that works. Thanks for the simple recipe!

I’d love to learn how to make an almond brittle that is soft and sweeter, maybe with vanilla flavor. Can you give us a soft brittle recipe?

How can I post my iPhone pic of my first batch? I went on then make batches 2 and 3 but I’m still laughing at my first attempt. After the first 3 minutes I used my favorite red silicone spoon with a hole cut out in the middle (for better stirring) to mix in the almonds. I left it in the bowl when I put the bowl went back into the microwave. Being mindful that the syrup might burn I watched in amazement as I saw what I thought was the sugar-Karo mixture coming out of the spoon’s handle. It was the red coloring of the spoon oozing into the almond mixture!
By the time I retrieved the bowl the spoon had melted into 2 pieces and the red coloring blended into the almonds. I made batch 2 according to the recipe and added 3/4c almonds and 3/4tsp salt to batch 3 – our favorite. mamapelican

So pretty, looks so easy and sadly, just burnt the first batch ;(. My microwave is finicky and I thought I caught it but alas, it has to go into the green bin. Will definitely try again. Thanks for this and so many of your recipes, only found you a short while ago and LOVE your sweet treats.

In reply to liz.

No, it will not reach the proper temperature to enable it to set into brittle. Sugar is tricky. We can make a soft cake with sugar, chewy taffy, crispy brittle, and very hard lollipops–all with the same sugar. It all has to do with the temperature of the sugar, and nothing else. The sugars in rice are a different molecular compound with slightly more components to the crytalline structure of the molecule.
The recipe is for a small batch, which lends itself to portion control. Maybe make the recipe and share with someone to reduce your sugar intake?
