CHILE-CINNAMON BRITTLE WITH MIXED NUTS



Chile-Cinnamon Brittle with Mixed Nuts image

This savory, barely sweet, recipe is my take on a basic peanut brittle I was given as a gift from a friend. She made it from a Jacques Torres recipe. I adapted the recipe to include mixed nuts, chili, cinnamon and a bit less corn syrup. I also roast the nuts to develop their flavor before using them in the candy brittle.
