I chose brazil nuts to add a different taste and ended up liking it more than my old favorite of pecan brittle. I have made brittle with almost every variety of nuts and pumpkin seeds with this same recipe.

I have always loved brazil nuts. My daddy used to buy mixed nuts when I was a child and I used to eat all the brazil nuts before he could get to them...I still love them today. This recipe has the goodness of brazil nuts white and dark chocolate and fudge...So yummy and delicious. You can buy the fudge in the grocery store...

Brazil Nut Brittle Recipe

Tips:

  • Use fresh Brazil nuts. Fresh Brazil nuts are softer and have a more delicate flavor than older nuts.
  • Toast the Brazil nuts before using them. Toasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the sugar syrup is overcooked, it will be too hard and brittle.
  • Pour the sugar syrup over the Brazil nuts in a thin stream. This will help to prevent the nuts from clumping together.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. If you break the brittle while it is still warm, it will be too soft and sticky.

Conclusion:

Brazil nut brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy. It is perfect for a snack or dessert. With its crunchy texture and sweet flavor, Brazil nut brittle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Brazil nut brittle a try.
