Chocolate Brittle
December 7, 2011
You have the freedom in selecting the way you make your chocolate brittle. In this particular recipe, we will be using semi-sweet chocolate, but you can always opt for white, milk, or dark chocolate. It's all up to your liking, or the one you plan on giving it to. Especially now that it's December already, you can make some of these to give as a holiday gift.
But don't stop here, you can modify the recipe by using other dried fruits and nuts available in your kitchen or fridge. And always keep in mind, the quality of the chocolate brittle will be as good as the quality of the chocolate you will be using, so see to it that you use quality chocolate!
| Chocolate Brittle • 1 pound butter • 1 pound sugar • 1 pound almonds • 1 pound walnuts, finely chopped • 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate • 1 cup whole walnuts In a saucepan cook butter & sugar, boiling 5 minutes.
