Candy Brittle Recipes

Cinder, or honeycomb, toffee, is a traditional British treat loved by children and grownups alike that can easily be made at home. Store cinder toffee at room temperature in an airtight container.

This is my favorite brittle recipe. I hope you enjoy.

Like chocolate-covered toffee! Disappears like magic! Great for holiday parties, gifts!

Hubby's first-ever attempt at a from-scratch recipe was a huge success!

Rich peanut brittle is quick and easy to prepare by using the microwave for all the cooking. No need for a candy thermometer!

Microwave brittle candy with macadamia nuts and a coconut layer. A cinch to make.

Through the years I have always made peanut brittle, but when my hubby could no longer have peanuts, I replaced them with cashews. This is one of my biggest requests at Christmas. It makes a nice thank-you gift as well and is a hit at bake sales.

Super simple and very delicious treat! A brittle that tastes just like the candied pecans from the mall. The recipe doesn't make a big batch but it is definitely worth it. Mexican vanilla is super yummy with this.

The procedure for brittle is very simple, but there are points in the recipe when you have to move fast. Once your sugar mixture has turned a nice caramel color you have to immediately turn off the heat, add baking soda (be careful), add the seeds (be careful), and mix until combined. As the concoction cools it hardens quickly, so transfer into your pan and press as soon as you can (be careful).

The pecans give this brittle a whole new flavor. I am begged for this recipe all of the time. I hope all enjoy.

Sinfully good, and easy to make! Always a huge hit.

This favorite candy gets a hearty update with almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.

After several failed attempts at making homemade brittle, I finally got some sense and called my Grandma Myrna! She gave me this recipe for brittle made in the microwave, and I had instant success! The best tips she gave were to 'work quickly, have everything pre-measured out, and for goodness' sake, don't burn yourself!'

A unique twist on peanut brittle. I mixed the seasonal flavors of maple and pecans and it turned out beautifully. The brittle has a slightly buttery taste to it from the nuts and a warmth from the maple.

It's crunchy and sweet with a deep roasted nutty flavor, and makes a great edible gift.

Quick and easy treat to enjoy anytime: chewy yet crunchy, sweet and salty goodness from heaven. Bet you can't eat just one! Once completely set you can also drizzle chocolate on top and let harden.

Toasted almonds and lemon are a delicious combo. The brittle adds yummy texture.

Incredibly quick and easy, but absolutely delicious. I have a peanut allergy and absolutely loved this cashew brittle. You'll want to make it again and again.

I modified the microwave peanut brittle found on this site to suit my in-laws preference for pecan brittle.

The traditional peanut brittle gets an update by using walnuts that are toasted, plus an addition of smokehouse rub found at Winco® (1745 is the bin number). Instead of using traditional corn syrup, I swapped to Lyle's® golden syrup; I believe it gave a deeper, richer taste. I absolutely recommend using a nonstick saucepan and a silicone spatula, because this mixture is rather sticky

This old-fashioned brittle utilizes the rich flavor of pecans instead of peanuts and is a hit with anyone who tries it. Store in an airtight container.

I adapted this recipe one night after having seen a peanut-bacon brittle on TV. It is sooooo good. I have trouble waiting for this stuff to cool before eating!

This homemade brittle is full of toasted walnuts and sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for holiday gift giving or entertaining.
