Maple-Pecan Brittle image

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.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The brittle never hardened and it ended up being a sticky mess.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The brittle was a bit bland and didn't have much flavor.

I had some trouble getting the brittle to harden. I ended up having to put it in the freezer for a while.

I found that the brittle was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I couldn't find pecan halves so I used chopped pecans and it turned out delicious!
