Bunches of Brittles, Barks and Brownies: 22 Non-Cookie Christmas Sweets
Everyone loves a good Christmas cookie. We aren't hating (in fact, we are pretty much all about Christmas cookies), but sometimes the cookie can get a little tired over the holiday season. There are so many other ways to sweeten up your neighbor's holiday party that don't start with the letter C. We've pulled together our favorite barks, brittles and brownies for a different holiday sweet.
7/22Salted Pistachio Brittle
Here, a coarse sea salt like fleur de sel or sel gris plays a few important roles: It tempers and cuts the richness of the nuts and butter, it adds a concentrated crunch—and it makes the brittle look divine. Break this vibrant green pistachio brittle on top of ice cream or crumble it over rice pudding. Or, do what we do, and eat it straight off the baking sheet.
