The best combination ever invented: almonds and chocolate. Enjoy this chef recipe of a few ingredients.
From Denny: Learning to work with cooking sugar as it gets hot akes a little effort yet is well worth it for the end result - almond brittle nirvana! :) This is for regular almond brittle. I figure anything almond deserves a drizzle of chocolate after it cools to kick it up a notch - but you may enjoy it just like it is.
