Honey Garlic Brittle

I love my garlic and this is something a little different and good.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup water
• 2  cups sugar
• 1⁄2 cup light corn syrup
• 1⁄2 cup red chile honey (honey that has red chilies in it)
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4  garlic cloves, roasted and pureed
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1. To make chili honey, take the honey and place 4 chilies (I roasted them slightly first) and then place in a jar overnight.
2. If you want, you can puree some of the chilies with the garlic for a extra kick.
3. For the Brittle: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper.
4. Combine the water and sugar in a large nonstick heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
5. Stir to dissolve the sugar, 4 to 5 minutes.
6. Add the corn syrup, honey, and salt, and stir constantly and slowly with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 2 minutes.
7. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer.
8. Remove the pan from the heat.
9. Add the butter, garlic puree, and baking soda and stir until the butter is completely melted, about 1 minute.
10. Pour the mixture onto the baking sheets, being careful as it is very hot, and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
11. Let cool completely.
12. Break the brittle into shards.
