Crunchy Cocoa-Chipped Confections

Tasty Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle Reinvents the Cocoa Pastry

— December 14, 2012 — Lifestyle
Chocolate chip cookie brittle takes a classic cocoa-filled recipe and turns into an explosive crunchy treat.

Transforming the golden dessert into a hard brittle is an interesting and easily done experiment. You don’t need to melt any sugar for this recipe, just refrain from adding eggs, brown sugar and baking soda when you mix up your cookie dough. The mixture will become very clumpy, you need to stir it until it forms smaller lumps before adding in your chips and smoothing it onto a baking sheet.

The lack of the wet ingredients and baking soda will cause your pastry to come out flat and super crunchy. To finish the chocolate chip cookie brittle glaze on some melted chocolate using the same chips that are in the cookies.
Trend Themes
1. Hard-brittle Desserts - With hard-brittle desserts becoming increasingly popular, there's an opportunity to create new recipes and offerings that satisfy the craving for a crunchy texture.
2. Experimental Baked Goods - Bakers can experiment with traditional recipes and create unique and innovative baked goods that showcase new textures and flavors.
3. Alternative Recipe Ingredients - Using alternative ingredients or leaving out certain wet ingredients offers fun and flavorful variations and presents an opportunity for recipe innovation.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - From bakeries to cafes, food and beverage businesses can incorporate cookie brittle and similar desserts into their menus or create their own unique twists on the original recipe.
2. Snack Food - Snack food companies can capitalize on the trend of hard and crunchy texture in their products, using cookie brittle as inspiration for new snack ideas.
3. Home Baking - With the rising popularity of home baking, home cooks have the opportunity to experiment with brittle recipes and create their own unique treats.
