Croccante di Mandorle (Almond Brittle)
This childhood favourite sweet is called croccante di mandorle, also known as almond brittle to many of you and clearly one of papa`s favourite. My paternal nonna Angela would make and serve this on special occasions and her children would rejoice when this simple but delicious treat was prepared. It doesn't use many ingredients other than almonds and sugar, and occasionally when means allowed it, my nonna would add cocoa powder as well. This time though, I chose to use some butter for that salted caramel flavour.
These were made for papa`s birthday, but a variation and more complex almond and sesame seed croccante that I have written about before, known as la giuggiulena may make an appearance for the Christmas table. These also make lovely edible Christmas gifts by adding them to other Italian biscotti, and can be prepared in small batches whenever you get that sweet craving.
