Call me nuts, but this almond brittle could be my new favourite recipe. Why, you ask? I’ll tell you. Two words: sugar and almonds. That’s it. Well, not quite. I mean you need a pot, a stove and a cookie sheet but, you see where I’m going with this. Both sugar and almonds are, for me, pantry staples (and should be for you, hint, hint). You wanna know why else I love this treat? I made it during a commercial break. That’s right, in the 2 and 2 it took to pay for Survivor, this sweet and nutty treat was spread out on a cookie sheet ready to cool into beautiful amber glass.  I was done.  How could it be? It was almost too easy! But life isn’t meant to be difficult.  And at this busy time of year, or any time for that matter, we need as many of these quick recipes as we can get our hands on. This recipe is from David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, a book chock full of easy, delicious meals and treats.  Once you’ve given this snack a try, I highly suggest you hang around and try every other recipe in the book.  I have worked my way through many and have yet to go wrong. So just lay back and enjoy. Well, actually, wait until after you’ve finished, since safety requires you to stay by the pot and stir for the entire time. The whole 2 minutes or so.  I hope you can handle it. Print Enjoy! Mel xo
