Crunchy Almond-Caramel Brittle
Recipe By : Karin Frei from Switzerland

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups almond chips

Add 1 cup of sugar to pan, heat, stir constantly 
Add 1 cup of molasses and cook until sugar is dissolved, mixture bubbles. Add 1 tsp. of vanilla, sugar starts to smell like caramel (about 5 minutes).

Add  2 cups of almond chips added to the hot mixture and stir for another minute (don't overcook, take instantly off the heat when almonds smell finely roasted, or else it might start to smell burnt).

Spread mixture quickly on a well greased baking sheet and roll with greased (!!) rolling pin about 5 mm thick.  Let cool, break into pieces. If you want squares, cut while mixture is still warm and soft. 

Careful:  Melted sugar is exceedingly hot!  Don't lick or stick fingers in it while cooking or removing from pan - you'll end up having blisters! 

Wrapped in a nice box, these candies also make a brilliant present!
