Brownie brittle tastes just like your favorite cocoa-based brownie: rich, chocolatey, and bittersweet. Because the two are made with many of the same ingredients, the only difference between bar-style brownies and this brittle is the texture. Traditional baked brownies have either a chewy, cakey, or fudgy texture. These sweet shards, on the other hand, have a crunch that’s on par with a crispy cookie.
