Notes

How to store: Let the brittle cool all the way. Any steam trapped in the container will soften the texture. Once cool, store the pieces in a container that is not airtight. They will stay crisp for up to 7 days. 
Try these add-ins:
  • Chopped pecans, almonds, pistachios or macadamia nuts instead of walnuts.  
  • Toffee bits for extra caramel notes
  • Shredded coconut for a hint of chew and tropical taste
  • Mini chocolate chips for more chocolate in every bite
  • White chocolate chips mixed with semi-sweet for contrast
  • A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking
