Almond Bark

Sweet, nutty, and crunchy—you’ll surely go loco over this one! Grab a cup of coffee and satisfy your sweet tooth with this crispy confection.

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
250 grams glucose (available in supermarkets and specialty baking stores)
1/2 cup butter
3 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups almonds
3 cups melted semisweet chocolate

1  Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, a silicone mat, or greaseproof/parchment paper. Set aside.

2  Combine sugar, water, and glucose in a saucepan. Turn stove on to medium heat. Cook until bubbling and light golden in color, about 10 minutes. Do not mix.

3  Quickly add butter and sift the baking soda on top of the caramel while mixing. Blend thoroughly.

4  Turn off the heat. Fold in nuts.

5  Spread mixture on the prepared tray. Let set and cool completely.

6  Spread half of the melted chocolate on top. Let the chocolate set. Repeat procedure on the other side.

7  Once set, break into pieces and place in a jar. Seal tightly.

Substitution tip Not a fan of chocolate? Use white chocolate instead. Can’t decide? Spread white chocolate on one side and semisweet chocolate on the other.
