Maple Nut Brittle

"This is a recipe that I created, and my husband fell in love with it, as did my father-in-law, so I made 14 batches of this and gave it out as Christmas gifts. I hope you enjoy it."

Ingredients :

• cooking spray
• 1 cup almonds, divided
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions :

Prep : 10M	Cook : 24M	Ready in : 1H10M

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray lightly with cooking spray. Reserve 2 tablespoons of almonds and sprinkle the rest evenly over the foil.
• Combine brown sugar and maple syrup in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and caramel mixture comes to a full boil, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Turn oven off once preheated; place prepared baking sheet in the oven to warm.
• Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan with the caramel mixture. Add butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F (149 degrees C) or until a small amount dropped into ice water forms a hard, brittle strand, about 20 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from the oven and immediately pour the caramel mixture over the almonds. Spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle remaining almonds and chocolate chips over open spaces. Spread chocolate evenly once melted. Let brittle cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Break into pieces.

Notes :

• Use any nuts you like.
