Carla Hall Brownie Brittle Recipe

Thin, crisp, and packed with chocolate, this brownie brittle is totally addictive!
Carla Hall’s version gets that crispy, chocolatey crunch just right—without tasting burnt or too hard.
A good brownie brittle needs the right balance of sugar and fat to keep it crisp, and this recipe gets it just right.
I always mix the batter well but avoid overbeating—it keeps the texture delicate instead of too dense.
A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking gives just enough contrast to bring out the richness of the chocolate.
