Candy Brittle

Search through recipes and you are likely to find a number of different versions of candy brittle. But is there any one recipe that is more perfect than others? That depends on what you need a recipe to be. Whether you are making a brittle of any kind or other sweet treats, you have to consider your abilities, your patience and your current skill level. The problem with some kinds of candy is that the recipe can sound simple at first read, but can turn tricky very quickly.

Some of the things that can cause problems with candy making include:

– Temperatures that are too high or too low that will affect consistency.
– Sugar that does not dissolve completely, giving the candy a gritty texture.
– Candy that doesn’t blend to the base correctly leaving some areas overloaded while other areas have no candy at all.
– Humidity that can prevent the candy from setting up.

No matter what you are making, make sure that you have the right ingredients and the right equipment before you get started. Also, make sure that you understand everything that is written in the recipe as well. Don’t get to the middle of the recipe and find out that you don’t understand a single term.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

If you are making candy for the first time, there is a tendency to over stir or to lift lids to have a peek before it is time to do so. If you are using the microwave, it is important to know the wattage that you have so that you can adjust the time given for recipes. Most will include information about what the appliance is rated for. In most cases, recipes are tested in 700 watt microwaves. If yours is stronger or weaker, you will have to add or subtract some of the time that is listed.

When the brittle is done, it will have to set and cool for a while before being broken into bite sized pieces. If you are given the brittle as a gift, it should be broken down into fairly uniform, attractive pieces and then wrapped in pretty paper.

Storing the brittle should be done carefully as well. Because of the high sugar content, brittles tend to get sticky, especially in high humidity. Wrapping the pieces in waxed paper can help, and keeping them in a cool, dark place is also a good idea. Don’t put brittle in the fridge, however, because it can become sticky and soft.

Done well, it can be delicious and a great gift. Candy brittle doesn’t have to be difficult to make.
