If you like the taste of brownies and like the stylization of peanut brittle, you can combine these two - without even making a brownie mix - into a brownie brittle - that tastes just identical to the brownies you've known and loved that is as edible as something that can be easily stuffed in your mouth and eaten (much like a chip).

Ingredients

Brittle

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 / 4 cup canola oil
  • 1 / 2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 / 2 vanilla extract
  • 1 / 3 all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp baking cocoa
  • 1 / 4 tsp salt
  • 1 / 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • Nuts to taste - but must be chopped.

Drizzle

  • 1 / 4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp canola oil

Steps

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven. Set the oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
  2. 2
    Prepare the brittle. Combine all the necessary ingredients - as directed from the ingredients list above. This should include the egg, canola oil, sugar, water, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking cocoa, salt, and baking powder.

  3. 3
    Use a whisk to whisk these ingredients together - forming the "chip" portion of the brittle.
  4. 4
    Grease a 15x10x1 inch pan. This becomes your baking surface.
    • You may also line this same-size pan with parchment paper.
  5. 5
    Bake the pan for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it's very firm.
  6. 6
    Cool the mixture on a wire rack.
  7. 7
    Break these brittle slabs into pieces. You may want to place a sheet of parchment paper over your brittle and slap them with a hammer.
  8. 8
    Prepare the drizzle. Combine and melt the chocolate chips with the oil and stir.
  9. 9
    Use the drizzle on the brittle pieces. Drizzle some of the drizzle over the brittle so as to make lines over the pieces in random waviness forms.
