A hybrid between brownie and brittle treats, Brownie Brittle might have been inspired by a love of crunchy food items, but it has since taken on a different spin. At only 120 calories a serving, Brownie Brittle is a great way to enjoy a chocolaty dessert without the density often associated with such dishes. Created by Sheila G. Mains, Brownie Brittle is available in four flavors: Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel and Toffee Crunch. Brownie Brittle makes a great dish to put out at a party or even gift over the holidays. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Healthy Dessert Hybrids:** Develop hybrid desserts that are both indulgent and healthy, like Brownie Brittle. - **Lower-calorie Snacks:** Create low-calorie versions of favorite snacks, like Brownie Brittle. - **Innovative Snack Packaging:** Design packaging that makes snacking easier and more convenient, like Brownie Brittle's resealable bags. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food industry can benefit from developing new, healthier snack options like Brownie Brittle. - **Snack Foods:** Snack food companies should consider creating lower-calorie versions of their popular products, following the lead of Brownie Brittle. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can innovate by designing more convenient and resealable packaging options for snack foods, like Brownie Brittle's packaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Candy Brittles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownie-brittle-x-mms-minis.md) - [Crunchy Collaboration Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheila-gs-brownie-brittle-reeses-pieces.md) - [Limited-Edition Brittle Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheila-gs-brownie-brittle.md) - [Fudge-Like Brittle Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frittle.md) - [Frozen Veggie-Packed Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chip-blondie-bites.md) - [Soft Brittle Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-brittle.md) - [Glazed Protein Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-bites-protein-brownies.md) - [Lower-Calorie Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-top-desserts.md) - [Better-for-You Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rule-breaker-snacks.md)
