How to Make Toasted Coconut Pecan Brittle
This comes together so easily!
Prep a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Coat lightly in butter. (I use a butter spray.)
Start by toasting your coconut and pecans in a dry skilled over low heat. It only takes a few minutes, stirring frequently. (Don’t let it burn!) Set aside to cool.
Place sugar and corn syrup in a microwave safe bowl. Pyrex (or similar) is best. I tried this in a plastic bowl and ended up with a melted mess in my microwave!
Cook for two minutes on high in microwave. Stir well.
Cool for another two minutes. Stir well.
Cook for another two minutes. Stir well.
Add toasted coconut and pecans. Mix together.
Cook for another two minutes.
Now add the butter and coconut extract, mixing well.
Finally, add the baking soda. Mix well.
Spread onto the prepared baking sheet.
Use a buttered spoon to spread it out. You don’t want it to be thick or it will be hard to chew (and a choking hazard).
Allow to sit for several minutes until cooled. Break into pieces and serve!
That’s it! Enjoy your delicious coco-nutty treat!
You can store leftovers (if you have any) in an airtight container. They will stay good for a week or longer.
