Have you ever had brownie brittle? I bought a pack from Costco once and finished the whole bag in two days. Let me tell you, it’s addicting! It’s basically a crunchy chip (think the same toughness as a pita chip) with the taste and richness of normal brownies. If you like eating brownie edges, then this recipe is for you.

I was curious about making brownie brittle at home. I mean, how hard can it be? Turns out it’s a cinch with a box of Pillsbury‘s Family Size Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix.

Pillsbury has a ton of other products to bake with, in case brownies aren’t your cup of tea.

All you have to do is mix together the 4 ingredients in a large bowl until combined.

Lay it out on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Spread the batter.

Keep spreading. The thinner, the crunchier they’ll be!

Bake.

Take it out, cut it up, and return it to the oven to bake again.

Then serve the pieces after they’re completely cooled and hardened. I find that by cutting it and baking it again, it’s easier for the pieces to harden. After all, you’re creating tons of edges to crisp up!

These take time… you want the pieces to dry out completely after baking. Even after all of the time spent in the oven, the middle pieces were less crunchy than the outer pieces. I prefer to eat the middle section while my DH happily eats the corners. Aren’t we the perfect match? Hah.

The key to making them crispy is leaving them in the oven to cool down. I know it really tests your patience with the brownie aroma filling your house, but trust me, it’s worth it! I added mini chocolate chips, but you can omit those if you want plain brownie brittle. You can also add sprinkles on top if you want something a little more festive.
