Brittle: From-scratch Brownie

This kitchen-made Brownie Brittle is crisp thin wafers of brownie. A simple brownie batter is whipped up, spread thin and baked before dusting with powdered sugar. A satisfying fun treat for any occasion.

Who doesn’t love brownie brittle? Those of us who’ve polished a Costco size bag of brownie brittle know how good it is. Thin addictive little wafers.

So skip running out to the store and make them at home! It’s unfussy and this way you aren’t at risk of eating an entire kingsize bag, simply maybe a half sheet pan.

You’re welcome. 😉

To Make From-scratch Brownie Brittle Set out:

• unbleached all-purpose flour
• powdered sugar
• cocoa powder
• baking soda
• kosher salt
• butter
• semi-sweet chocolate
• brown sugar
• milk
• an egg white
• vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 325℉ (or 160℃).

In a mesh strainer, sift 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon each baking soda and kosher salt.

Sift to combine and set off to the side.

Meanwhile, in a sauce pan over low heat, melt 2 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate and 6 tablespoons butter.

Once melted, remove off of the heat and whisk in 1/3 cup dark brown sugar and 3 tablespoons milk.

Allow this mixture to cool a bit before whisking in 1 egg white.

Lastly, add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.

Next add the dry ingredients to the pan with the melted chocolate mixture.

And stir until thoroughly combined.

Pour the brownie batter onto a silicone mat set into a rimmed, metal baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly and thin. Leaving a little room for some minor spreading that will happen when baking in the oven.

Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crispy, rotating the pan halfway through.

Allow the brownie to cool, it will crisp up more as it cools.

Break into about 20 pieces.

And dust with powdered sugar before devouring.

The serving size from-scratch brownie brittle is 2 pieces. Um, yeah. Good luck with that.

Crisp. Chocolaty. And not too sweet. = my dream dessert.
