- Use fresh almonds. Fresh almonds will give your buttercrunch a better flavor and texture. If you can, buy almonds that have been recently harvested.
- Roast the almonds before using them. Roasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. To roast the almonds, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the sugar from burning. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed saucepan, you can use a regular saucepan, but be sure to stir the sugar constantly.
- Don't overcook the sugar. The sugar should be cooked to a light amber color. If you overcook the sugar, it will become dark and bitter.
- Add the almonds and butter to the sugar mixture immediately after you remove it from the heat. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
- Pour the buttercrunch mixture onto a greased baking sheet. This will help to prevent it from sticking.
- Let the buttercrunch cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
