Chocolate Almond Apricot Brittle - vegetable oil

Method

• Grease a rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil.
• In a small bowl, toss together the almonds, chocolate chips, and apricots.
• Put them on the baking sheet, spreading them out into an even single layer across the entire baking sheet.
• In a medium saucepan stir together the sugar and the water.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Do not stir after that.
• Instead, using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush the sides of the pan a few times to incorporate any sugar that has stuck to the sides of the pan.
• Continue cooking until the sugar syrup turns golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Carefully pour the caramelized sugar over the nut mixture on the
• cookie sheet.
• Also, be careful not to move the cookie sheet after the sugar has been poured.
• The baking sheet will be very hot in the beginning.
• Let cool for at least 2 hours.
• Break the brittle into pieces and place on a serving dish.
