FAQS

  1. How do I make almond brittle without using ghee?

    If you're looking to make almond brittle without ghee, you can easily substitute it with any neutral oil, such as vegetable oil or coconut oil. This will still give you a deliciously crunchy almond brittle while accommodating dietary preferences.

  2. What is the best way to store homemade almond brittle?

    To keep your homemade almond brittle fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain its crunchy texture. Avoid storing it in the fridge, as moisture can make it sticky.

    Almond brittle pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate, dried fruits, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, consider adding it to a dessert platter alongside cookies and other holiday treats.

  5. How long does it take to make almond brittle from start to finish?
