EASY 10-MINUTE GRAHAM BRITTLE
I discovered this recipe this Christmas and have gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried it. A whole baking sheet of this stuff seems like a lot but I guarantee you it will disappear! The brown sugar an butter combine to make an almost caramel-like taste. It's super easy and takes less than 10 minutes to make. Toppings are optional as this also tasted delicious plain. * for a lower fat version, use low-fat graham crackers and light margarine

Steps:
- First, preheat the oven to 350.
- Then place graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Line them up so that they're touching on all sides, like a grid. (Make sure the baking sheet has sides on it.).
- Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers, coating each one evenly.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and evenly sprinkle the milk chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers. Let them melt for 30 sec-1 minute. Then spread them around to coat the graham crackers with chocolate.
- Sprinkle on your desired topping or leave it plain! Crushed cereal not only tastes amazing but also uses up the crumbs in the bottom of the bag :).
- Chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened. To save time, you can also pop it in the freezer.
- To serve, use your muscles and a metal flipper or pizza cutter to break it up into pieces.

Steps:
- Lightly butter a lipped baking tray and spread the almonds over it in a thin, even layer. Put the sugar, butter, salt and 4 tbsp water into a smooth-bottomed frying pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil for about 5 mins, or until it starts to turn light golden brown. Stir every now and again as some patches will start to caramelise faster than others. Carefully tip the caramel over the nuts and leave to cool completely.
- Once cold, shatter the caramel. An easy way to get clean sharp pieces is to put the point of a sharp knife vertically onto the caramel and bash the handle with a rolling pin, like a hammer and chisel. Serve on top of the Chocolate amaretti puddings. Keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container, interleaved with non-stick paper, in a cool, dry place (not the fridge).

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use a candy thermometer: This is essential for making brittle, as it will help you ensure that the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
- Be careful when working with hot sugar: It can cause severe burns, so always handle it with caution.
- Work quickly: Brittle hardens quickly, so you need to work quickly to shape it before it cools.
- Store brittle in an airtight container: This will help it stay fresh and crispy.
