I had a hard time getting the brittle to set. I think I might have cooked it for too long. However, the flavor was still good and I was able to enjoy it.

This brittle was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. However, it was still very good and I enjoyed eating it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the brittle turned out perfectly. It was so crispy and flavorful. I loved the addition of the Butterfinger pieces. They added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
