Sweet & Spicy Pistachio Brittle image

I noticed a poll being taken on Facebook, peanut brittle vs almond bark. I was glancing through the comments when I noticed a comment about a sweet and spicy pistachio brittle. I immediately messaged this gal, asking if I could have the recipe. A few days later, she sent it to me. I was sooooo happy!!! I made it almost right...

I had some trouble getting the brittle to set at first, but I eventually figured it out. I think the key is to cook it over low heat and to stir it constantly.

I used a candy thermometer to make sure that the brittle reached the right temperature. I think this is a key step to ensuring that the brittle turns out perfectly.

The brittle was a bit softer than I expected, but it was still delicious. I think I'll try cooking it for a few minutes less next time.
