"This crunchy nut brittle is a favorite of my family," reports Cheryl Brungardt of Wheat Ridge Colorado. "It's a snap to prepare as a last-minute holiday gift. Be careful moving it in and out of the microwave, though, because the syrup gets very hot," she cautions.

I'm not a huge fan of pistachios, but I really enjoyed this brittle. The white chocolate and sugar balance out the flavor of the pistachios perfectly.
