I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The brittle still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my brittle didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The brittle was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.

The brittle turned out great! I used a candy thermometer to make sure it reached the right temperature, and it came out perfectly crispy.

This brittle was a hit at my holiday party! It's the perfect balance of sweet and crunchy, with a lovely cinnamon flavor. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
