This homemade Brownie Brittle is crisp thin wafers of brownie. A simple brownie batter is whipped up, spread thin and baked before dusting with powdered sugar. A delicious fun treat for any occasion.
Who doesn’t love brownie brittle? Those of us who’ve polished a Costco size bag of brownie brittle know how good it is. Thin addictive little wafers.
So skip running out to the store and make them at home! It’s easy and this way you aren’t at risk of eating an entire kingsize bag, just maybe a half sheet pan.
You’re welcome. 😉
To Make Homemade Brownie Brittle You Will Need:
- unbleached all-purpose flour
- powdered sugar
- cocoa powder
- baking soda
- kosher salt
- butter
- semi-sweet chocolate
- brown sugar
- milk
- an egg white
- vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 325℉ (or 160℃).
In a mesh strainer, sift 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon each baking soda and kosher salt.
Sift to combine and set off to the side.
Meanwhile, in a sauce pan over low heat, melt 2 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate and 6 tablespoons butter.
Once melted, remove off of the heat and whisk in 1/3 cup dark brown sugar and 3 tablespoons milk.
Allow this mixture to cool a bit before whisking in 1 egg white.
Lastly, add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Next add the dry ingredients to the pan with the melted chocolate mixture.
And stir until thoroughly combined.
Pour the brownie batter onto a silicone mat set into a rimmed, metal baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly and thin. Leaving a little room for some minor spreading that will happen when baking in the oven.
Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crispy, rotating the pan halfway through.
Allow the brownie to cool, it will crisp up more as it cools.
Break into about 20 pieces.
And dust with powdered sugar before devouring.
The serving size homemade brownie brittle is 2 pieces. Um, yeah. Good luck with that.
Crisp. Chocolaty. And not too sweet. = my dream dessert.

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
I am a brownie official taster. I discovered brownie brittle when it first hit the streets. I made it myself. Your recipe is the best. Easy and it works…crisp a d yummy. I have also used your recipe and added finely ground walnuts. Oh yes that worked. The silicone pads are a secret to thin crisp wafers.
Thank you Mary! I’m so glad you approve ☺️. And YES the silicone mats are a MUST!
