Well hello there!
A friend of mine has recently given me a recipe for the most ah-mazing chocolate brittle I have ever tasted, figured it would be selfish not to share it. It's super easy to make and perfect for holiday gifts.
Bon appétit mes amis!
-ASoda crackers (salted or unsalted)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
chocolate (I prefer dark, not as sweet but they're both good)
Nuts, almonds, coconut (optional)
1. Set oven to 350 F
2. Grease cookie tray (one with edges)
3. Line the tray with soda crackers creating one layer
4. In a saucepan on medium heat, melt the sugar and the butter together. You may have to turn the heat up or down but allow it to bubble up a bit and thicken - always stirring, don't let it burn!
5. Pour the now caramel sauce over the crackers and spread quickly before it solidifies
6. Put tray in oven for 10 minutes - watch this because this too can burn quickly - the caramel should be quite a golden brown.
7. Take the tray out and turn the oven off. Spread chocolate over the brittle and out back in oven until chocolate melts. Take out, spread chocolate so it covers the surface - add any nuts if you want at this point.
8. Once tray is cool enough, put into your freezer for probably an hour. Once it's solid take it out and break up the brittle and ENJOY!
