Description

This Decadent Brownie Brittle recipe offers a perfect balance of rich chocolate flavor and a satisfyingly crunchy texture, ideal for those craving a sweet snack with a delightful twist. Made with a blend of melted baking chocolate, cocoa powder, and airy egg whites, this brownie brittle spreads thin and bakes to a golden, crisp finish enhanced by mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 oz baking chocolate
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325℉ (163℃) and prepare a half sheet baking pan (13’x18′) by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the baking chocolate and unsalted butter together by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add Oil and Cocoa Powder: Stir in the vegetable oil to the chocolate and butter mixture, then mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder evenly to distribute the rich chocolate flavor.
  4. Beat Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they become light and fluffy, creating an airy texture that will help the brittle crisp up.
  5. Combine Sugar and Vanilla: Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract into the fluffy egg whites and continue beating until the mixture becomes frothy and well incorporated.
  6. Fold Chocolate Mixture into Egg Whites: Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the frothy egg white and sugar blend to maintain the airy consistency without deflating it.
  7. Add Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda into the mixture, combining just until smooth without overmixing to keep the brittle light.
  8. Spread Batter Thinly: Evenly spread the batter thinly across the parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure it crisps up nicely and bakes uniformly.
  9. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter, adding pockets of extra chocolate indulgence in each bite.
  10. Bake: Bake the spread batter in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the brittle is golden and crisp around the edges.
  11. Score While Hot: Using a knife, score the brownie brittle into pieces while it is still hot to make breaking easier once cooled.
  12. Cool and Break: Allow the brownie brittle to cool completely on the baking sheet, then break it into individual pieces along the scored lines and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be sure to spread the batter very thinly for the signature crispy texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier removal of the brittle.
  • Cooling completely is essential for the brittle to harden properly and break cleanly.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
