Originating in the South, pecan brittle is a richer, more buttery & delicate version of the classic peanut brittle. This sweet, crunchy treat’s foundation is boiling sugar until it reaches the hard-crack stage. A touch of baking soda transforms the sugar into a light, airy & breakable candy. Vanilla & butter bring a depth of richness & flavor that compliments the pecan’s maple & oak undertones. The end result is a confection that is a delectable homemade treat perfect to package up & gift to loved ones.
