Honey Garlic Brittle Recipes

HONEY GARLIC BRITTLE

Steps:

• To make chili honey, take the honey and place 4 chilies (I roasted them slightly first) and then place in a jar overnight.
• If you want, you can puree some of the chilies with the garlic for a extra kick.
• For the Brittle: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper.
• Combine the water and sugar in a large nonstick heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Stir to dissolve the sugar, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the corn syrup, honey, and salt, and stir constantly and slowly with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 2 minutes.
• Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer.
• Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the butter, garlic puree, and baking soda and stir until the butter is completely melted, about 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture onto the baking sheets, being careful as it is very hot, and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
• Let cool completely.
• Break the brittle into shards.

HONEYCOMB BRITTLE

Steps:

• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar, honey, and water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees. Remove from heat, add baking soda, and stir once with whisk, just until incorporated. Gently pour mixture onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool. Break into pieces.

GRANDMA MYRNA'S HONEY-WALNUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Grease a large baking sheet with butter.
• Mix sugar and honey together in a large microwave-safe glass bowl; mixture will be very thick. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Stir, and cook 1 minute more. Stir mixture again, and cook until mixture boils and sugar is dissolved, an additional 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
• Stir walnuts into the bowl with the sugar mixture. Heat in the microwave another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Microwave until mixture is caramel in color, an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
• Carefully remove bowl from microwave, and quickly stir in baking soda until incorporated. Immediately pour mixture onto the buttered cookie sheet. Allow to cool until brittle is set, about 15 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

HONEY SMACKS BRITTLE

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 15 x 10 x 1-inch nonstick baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over moderate heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Immediately remove from heat and quickly stir in the Honey Smacks and nuts and immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking pan. You must work quickly, as the mixture will harden.
• After about 30 seconds, using rubber gloves, take hold of the edge of the candy and, lifting it slightly from the pan, pull it as thin as possible.
• Brake the candy into irregular pieces. Store tightly covered. Makes 1 dozen pieces.
