Sweet Laced Almond Brittle...

Who doesn't have a few nuts in their kitchen?  I have plenty of nuts...sports nuts, health nuts,  not to mention those in my kitchen!  This morning, needing a snack to add to my daughters lunch, I thought, what better way to sneak in some low-fat protein than to add almonds.  The dilemma was that she doesn't really like them plain.  So, hence this recipe.

Sweet Laced Almond Brittle...
On medium heat, in a small skillet add:

1/4 Cup white sugar
1 tsp. butter (may add additional teaspoon to create a more gooey caramel.  Tip: *If there is too much butter it will not stick to the nuts.)
pinch of Salt
Stir constantly, until mixture turn a light brown and sugar has dissolved.  Remove from heat.  Add 3/4 Cup Almonds (not blanched!).  Stir and fold into caramelized sugar.  As the sugar cools it will begin to harden.  Spray a glass dish and separate (approx. 5 almonds per piece) into the dish and allow to cool completely.  Add the separated pieces to a baggie and enjoy as a snack.
