When preparing caramelized sugar patience is key. If you rush it it&#8217;ll burn faster than you blink. So melt it slowly on low heat, a few tablespoons at a time just enough to cover the bottom of the pot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work fast<\/strong>. Once caramelized sugar is melted work fast every next step. Your goal is to roll the brittle white it&#8217;s still hot. When it starts to cool it&#8217;ll harden fast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a small batch<\/strong>. If it&#8217;s your first time making this recipe you can try it even with a small batch. Simply use equal amounts by weight of slivered almond and sugar. This way you can get a handle of the technique and the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use an aluminum pot<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t use non-stick, cast-iron or enamel cookware to caramelize sugar. They&#8217;ll be a disaster to clean and you risk ruining their coating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soak the pot<\/strong>. Once you&#8217;re done rolling and cutting almond brittle, fill the pot that you used to caramelize sugar with warm water and let sit for a few hours then rinse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Candy wrap or parchment paper<\/strong>. Use candy wrapers if you plan to gift it or parchment paper cut into small pieces to arrange almond brittle individually on a dessert tray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure
