Tips:

  • For a crispier brittle, use stale crackers.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, as it can quickly burn.
  • If you want to add flavorings to the brittle, such as vanilla extract or cinnamon, stir them in after the sugar syrup has been removed from the heat.
  • Spread the brittle out on a greased baking sheet as soon as it is removed from the heat, as it will start to harden quickly.
  • Break the brittle into pieces once it has cooled completely.

Conclusion:

Cracker, cookie, and shortbread brittle are all delicious and easy-to-make treats that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover crackers or cookies, and they can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give one of these brittle recipes a try.
