What is Homemade Brownie Brittle?
Homemade Brownie Brittle is a thin, crispy version of a traditional brownie. Instead of the soft and chewy texture typical of brownies, brownie brittle is baked to be crunchy throughout—similar to the crispy edges of a regular brownie that many people love.
It’s made with classic brownie ingredients like sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs but spread thinly on a baking sheet before baking.
This creates a delicate, crispy texture that breaks into brittle-like pieces, perfect for snacking.
Homemade Brownie Brittle can be customized with various toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel, making it an easy and versatile treat.
Think of it as the perfect combination of the rich, chocolatey flavor of brownies and the crisp crunch of a cookie!

How to make Homemade Brownie Brittle
Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth.
Add the flour and sugar.
Beat together then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Don’t over mix.
