Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Chile Brittle 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup chile, half habanero and half dried ground chipotles 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup soft butter or margarine 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 cups whole pinones, peanuts, cashews or coarsely chopped pecans, walnuts or brazil nuts Boil together the sugars, corn syrup, water, chile and salt until the mixture reaches hard crack stage, 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir the mixture only until the sugar is dissolved so it doesn't scorch. Add the butter and baking soda, stirring until the mixture foams up. Add nuts and quickly stir them in. Pour the mixture onto a greased heat-proof flat pan. Spread the mixture until it is very thin. Loosen from the sheet before it cools and hardens. Break into crude pieces, you know just crack it up!. ______________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 It's mighty hot but the sugar kicks in and it's a very suprising flavor.
