Almond Brittle

I am not particularly a fan of peanut brittle but I absolutely love this almond brittle recipe! So easy and so so good!

2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 cup butter
2 cups slivered almonds
1 tsp. baking soda

Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy pan. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves. When syrup boils, blend in butter. Stir frequently after mixture reaches the syrup stage (230 degrees). Add almonds when the temperature reaches soft-crack stage (280 degrees) and stir constantly until temperature reaches hard crack stage (350 degrees). Remove from heat. Quickly stir in soda mixing thoroughly. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet and stretch it out as thin as possible using two forks. When cool, break into pieces.
