Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or almonds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture at this point for added crunch and flavor.
Carefully drizzle the mixture in thin streams over the prepared baking sheet to form delicate 'brickle' lines or designs. Work quickly, as the mixture sets up fast as it cools.
Let the drizzles cool completely at room temperature, about 20 minutes. They will harden into crispy, buttery pieces.
Optional: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the drizzles before they fully harden for a sweet-and-salty touch.
Once completely cooled, break into pieces if needed and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
