Croccante-- Italian Almond Brittle image

This is a recipe from David Rocco's La Dolce Vita on Cooking Channel. I love this because it is a new take on standard peanut brittle, plus I'm Italian so, I'm a little biased.

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

This croccante is so versatile! I've crumbled it over ice cream, used it as a topping for yogurt, and even added it to my trail mix. It's always a delicious addition.
