What is "brittle"?
Brittle is a type of candy that is known for its hard and crunchy texture and is typically made by cooking sugar and nuts or seeds together until it hardens and becomes brittle. The most common type of brittle is peanut brittle, which is made by boiling sugar and corn syrup together before adding peanuts. Other types of nuts or seeds can also be used, such as almonds, cashews, or sunflower seeds. Brittle can also be flavored with spices, such as cinnamon or ginger, or with other ingredients, such as chocolate or coconut. It is often broken into small pieces or shards and enjoyed as a sweet and satisfying snack, or used as a topping for ice cream or other desserts. Brittle is widely available in grocery stores and specialty stores around the world, and is a beloved part of many people's diets and culinary cultures. However, it is important to consume brittle in moderation as it is often high in sugar and calories, and can contribute to health issues such as obesity and tooth decay.
