You will love these Brownie Brittles – a quick and easy treat!

When you make brownies, which do you prefer? The edges or the middle? I am all about those edges! While I do enjoy the middle pieces, if given a choice, I will always take the edges first.

I love brownies, but I especially love those crispy, delectable brownie edges. About a year ago, I tried brownie brittle from the store and instantly fell in love. If you haven’t tried it before, it’s a bag full of those excellent brownie edges, incredible, right!?!

Store-bought brownie brittle is expensive, so today I’m sharing my copycat Brownie Brittle Recipe with you that you can make for a fraction of the cost. It’s super easy to make and uses a box mix.

This Brownie Brittle Recipe will give you your brownie edge fix in every single bite!

Recipe Note:

  • If you want the brittle in uniform pieces like mine, then you need to score the brittle with the pizza cutter as soon as it comes out of the oven. Once it’s cooled, break it apart entirely by cutting it with the pizza cutter.
