Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg white room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Hersey’s Special Dark Cocoa or Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- assorted Halloween candy see notes
For attaching candy after it's baked:
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- a few drops of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a 9″ x 13″ baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients (cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt) together in a small bowl. Set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until it comes together. Don’t over mix.
- Pour the batter onto the baking sheet and spread it out evenly to cover the entire pan. I found that a small offset spatula works best.
- Top the batter with candy (nonpareils, Snickers, peanut butter cups, etc.) and bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes. Turn the pan once during baking and keep a close eye on it as the corners can burn quickly.
- Let the brittle cool, then remove it from the baking sheet by picking up the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and use a knife to cut the brownie brittle into pieces.
- If you want to add decorative candy such as candy corn or candy eyeballs, mix together 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and a few drops of water to form a paste. Use the paste as glue to attach the candies. Enjoy!!
Notes
- The best candies to use for baking into the brittle are: nonpareils, Reese's Pieces and M&M's as wells as chocolates like Snickers, Butterfingers and peanut butter cups. Other sugar candies will melt and disappear when baked.
- Decorate the brownie brittle with candy eyeballs, candy corn, and other sugar candies after it's baked by using a powdered sugar paste to attach it.
