Homemade brownie brittle is easy to make and the perfect brownie/cookie combo! Rich brownie taste with a cookie crunch.
My dad gave me a bag of brownie brittle before a flight once. I inhaled all of that crispy goodness before we had even taxied out to the runway.
It was THAT good.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t widely available at the time. So when I tried to explain the magic brownie/cookie hybrid to my husband… He was beyond confused. Which is why I had to figure out how to make brownie brittle.
Recipe Features:
- Rich Chocolate Flavor
- 5-Ingredient Dessert
- Easy to Customize
What You Need:
The base ingredients you need for this recipe are minimal, which means you should reach for quality.
- Boxed brownie mix: We really like Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix or Betty Crocker Triple Chunk Brownie Mix. But really, pick your personal favorite.
- MINT extract. Try not to use peppermint. While they are similar, the flavor profiles are polar opposites.
For a full list of ingredients and their measurements see the recipe card below.
Step By Step Instructions:
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions.
- Stir the mint extract and spread onto you cookie sheet until it is thinned about 1/4 inch. You want to make sure that the batter is spread fairly even to avoid burning.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Make sure you turn the pan halfway through for even baking. Keep a close eye on the dish to avoid over baking. If you notice the edges browning remove the pan from the oven.
- Cool completely and break apart by hand.
