Steps:
- Grease a rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil. Toss together the almonds, chocolate chips, orange zest and cherries in a small bowl, then spread them out in an even layer covering the entire baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring; instead, using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush the sides of the pan a few times to incorporate any sugar stuck to the sides of the pan. Continue cooking until the sugar syrup turns golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully pour the caramelized sugar over the nut mixture on the baking sheet. (Be careful not to move the baking sheet at this point; it will be very hot.) Let cool for at least 2 hours.
- Break the brittle into pieces and place in bags for hungry trick-or-treaters.

Steps:
- Lightly butter a lipped baking tray and spread the almonds over it in a thin, even layer. Put the sugar, butter, salt and 4 tbsp water into a smooth-bottomed frying pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil for about 5 mins, or until it starts to turn light golden brown. Stir every now and again as some patches will start to caramelise faster than others. Carefully tip the caramel over the nuts and leave to cool completely.
- Once cold, shatter the caramel. An easy way to get clean sharp pieces is to put the point of a sharp knife vertically onto the caramel and bash the handle with a rolling pin, like a hammer and chisel. Serve on top of the Chocolate amaretti puddings. Keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container, interleaved with non-stick paper, in a cool, dry place (not the fridge).

EASY 10-MINUTE GRAHAM BRITTLE
I discovered this recipe this Christmas and have gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried it. A whole baking sheet of this stuff seems like a lot but I guarantee you it will disappear! The brown sugar an butter combine to make an almost caramel-like taste. It's super easy and takes less than 10 minutes to make. Toppings are optional as this also tasted delicious plain. * for a lower fat version, use low-fat graham crackers and light margarine

Steps:
- First, preheat the oven to 350.
- Then place graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Line them up so that they're touching on all sides, like a grid. (Make sure the baking sheet has sides on it.).
- Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers, coating each one evenly.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and evenly sprinkle the milk chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers. Let them melt for 30 sec-1 minute. Then spread them around to coat the graham crackers with chocolate.
- Sprinkle on your desired topping or leave it plain! Crushed cereal not only tastes amazing but also uses up the crumbs in the bottom of the bag :).
- Chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened. To save time, you can also pop it in the freezer.
- To serve, use your muscles and a metal flipper or pizza cutter to break it up into pieces.

Yield Makes 2 dozen pieces
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment; set aside. Dissolve saffron in rose water; set aside. Fill a bowl with ice water; set aside.
- Place sugar, honey, and oil in a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, and stir constantly until sugar is melted.
- Stir in the almonds, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and is golden, about 2 minutes.
- Add the saffron mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown. Drop a spoonful of the mixture into the ice water. If it hardens immediately, the mixture is ready. Reduce heat to the lowest setting.
- Quickly drop mixture by tablespoons onto the paper, leaving a 1-inch space between. Sprinkle immediately with the chopped pistachios. Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: This will help you control the amount of salt in the brittle and prevent it from becoming too salty.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the brittle from burning.
- Cook the brittle to the right temperature: The brittle is done when it reaches a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). You can use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature.
- Pour the brittle onto a greased baking sheet: This will help prevent the brittle from sticking to the pan.
- Break the brittle into pieces: Once the brittle has cooled, break it into pieces using a hammer or a rolling pin.
Conclusion:
Graham almond brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great gift for friends and family, and it is also a great way to use up leftover graham crackers. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious and crunchy treat at home.
