Divide the batter between the two sheet pans. Use an offset spatula to thinly spread the batter to about ⅙ inch thick. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter. (See notes 1.)

Step 8

Bake for about 10 minutes. Rotate the sheet pans and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center is set and firm. Remove the brownie brittle from the oven. Use a pizza cutter to score the brownie brittle while it is still warm. If the edges have burnt, use the pizza cutter to score the edges to break off and discard.

Brownie Brittle Recipe: Bake for about 10 minutes.
Step 9

Let the brownie brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk. Enjoy!

Notes:

  1. It is important to evenly distribute the batter so the brownie brittle bakes evenly. Uneven spreading may result in burnt edges and soft centers.

This Brownie Brittle Recipe is delicious and crispy with chocolately taste. Best paired with milk and coffee. A must try. Easy to make and re-create.
