Manufacturing Process of Almond Brittle

1. Ingredient Preparation

• Almond Selection:

  • Use high-quality, uniform, raw or blanched almonds.

  • Moisture content should be low (<5%) to prevent sogginess.

• Roasting:

  • Almonds are roasted at 150–160°C for 10–15 minutes to enhance aroma and crunch.

  • Cooling follows immediately to retain crispness.

2. Sugar Syrup Preparation

• Cooking the Base:

  • Sugar, glucose syrup, and sometimes butter are heated in a jacketed kettle.

  • The mixture is boiled to 145–150°C (soft crack to hard crack stage).

  • Optional: small amounts of salt and vanilla for flavor balance.

• Color Development:

  • As sugar caramelizes, it develops a rich amber hue and deep caramel aroma.

3. Mixing

• Addition of Almonds:

  • Roasted almonds are added to the hot caramelized syrup and mixed thoroughly for even coating.

  • The mixture must be handled quickly before it hardens.

4. Forming and Shaping

• The hot mixture is poured onto stainless steel or marble tables coated lightly with oil or silicone release.

• Rolled out evenly with rollers to desired thickness (typically 3–6 mm).

• Cut into sheets, bars, or bite-sized pieces while still warm.

5. Cooling and Breaking

• Allow the slab to cool completely (room temperature or in cooling tunnels).

• Once hardened, it’s broken or cut into clean shapes using mechanical cutters.

6. Coating (Optional)

• For premium variants, the brittle may be half-dipped or drizzled with chocolate (dark, milk, or white).

• Some variants add sea salt or flavor glaze on top.

7. Packaging

• Packed in moisture-proof laminated films or tins to preserve crispness.

• Nitrogen flushing is often used in pouches for extended shelf life.
