Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Recently, I needed to make a trip to Costco and I discovered something pretty amazing.  It was something called Brownie Brittle.

I put it out at a holiday party in a bowl. It doesn’t look like anything special but let me tell you once people started eating it they couldn’t stop.  If you like the edges of the brownies, you know the crispy stuff, you are going to LOVE this. 

Now if fudge brownies are your favorite, this might not be your thing but give it a try first!

ingredients for brownie brittle

Ingredients Needed

  • Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour.
  • Salt
  • Baking Powder
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Oil. Use canola or vegetable oil. A mild flavored oil is best.
  • Eggs. You will only be using the whites.
  • Chocolate Chips. I use semi sweet but milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips will work too. You can use full size chips or mini chocolate chips.
  • Toffee Bits. You can use the kind with or without chocolate.

How to Make Brownie Brittle

  • In a bowl whisk the egg whites until foamy.
adding sugar to beaten egg whites
  • Add in sugar and then cocoa powder, oil and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add in dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
adding flour into bowl
  • Pour batter onto lined cookie sheet and spread as thinly as possible with back of spoon or an offset spatula.

Brownie Brittle Tips

  • Spread the batter as thin as you can on a cookie covered with a silphat or parchment paper.
  • Use a pizza cutter for easy cutting.
  • Be sure to cut it into pieces while it is still warm.
  • Don’t worry if it doesn’t look crisp when you take it out of the oven, it will crisp up as it cools. If any of the pieces are too thick and chewy you can return them to the oven at 250 degrees for 20 more minutes and then re-cool.
  • Leave it plain or top it with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts or toffee bits.

    Please be aware that if you have a tree nut allergy, almonds are often used in toffee bits.

    Hi!
    I stumbled upon your website in search of making brownies, and this twist was lovely. I followed the recipe exactly but my batter was A LOT thicker.
    It smells wonderful and the pieces are still quite thin, would you recommend adding more oil or maybe some water next time to get a more runnier consistency ?
