Mighty Brittle Karden from New Lebanon has succeeded in his quest for a better brittle. Made with real Hudson Valley maple syrup and organic cane sugar (no corn syrup here!), this small-batch brittle is crunchy (not sticky!) and made with pecans (not peanuts) for a richer, nuttier taste. The flavors are delightfully untraditional too: espresso-cacao, orange, maple, chai, and cayenne…try them broken over ice cream. O.M.G.
