SPICY NUT BRITTLE
A few years ago dietary changes dictated we were no longer allowed peanuts or corn. Since we love Christmas candy I had to come up with a replacement for peanut brittle. This recipe is the result, and what a happy consequence! Nut brittle all grown up. It's sneak attack is surprising and wonderful :)

SWEET AND SPICY BRITTLE
If you like nut brittle as well as I do, here is something a little different. This is almost foolproof if the steps are followed through in the correct order and you work fast. The chili powder adds a little kick at the end. I personally use a dried mixture of ghost pepper, Carolina reaper, and Caribbean red habiarino peppers...

Steps:
- 1. Read through entire recipe and have everything ready to go. Steps must go fast and in order to insure brittle will come out correct. In a large glass measuring cup, or glass bowl, mix sugar and corn syrup. Microwave for 5-7 min or until mixture has started to turn to a lite amber color. Keep a close eye on this, some microwaves cook faster than others.
- 2. While the sugar and syrup is microwaving, quickly mix together butter, and all the nuts and seeds. When sugar and syrup is ready, quickly add nut and seed mixture, microwave 2 more min.
- 3. As soon as the above comes out of the microwave stir in vanilla, salt, baking soda and chili powder, combine well and spread out on a silicone mat laid on a baking sheet with a silicone spatula (makes clean up so much easier), as thin as you would like your brittle.
- 4. When cooled break into small pieces, store in airtight container.

Steps:
- For the spicy brittle: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the sugar, corn syrup, butter and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar has melted. Stop stirring and continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. While this is cooking, combine the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Carefully, but moving quickly, stir the almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios and spice mixture into the sugar syrup until the nuts are coated. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle over the sea salt. Allow to cool completely, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When cool, break into shards.
- For the salad: Fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the skillet.
- When ready to serve, arrange the salad on a large platter in layers: escarole, radicchio, carrots, apples, onion, raisins and bacon.
- Heat the skillet with the bacon fat over medium heat. Add the vinaigrette, mustard and honey and cook, stirring, until warm. Pour the dressing over the salad. Arrange the spicy brittle shards over the top. Serve immediately.
HOT CINNAMON PEANUT BRITTLE
This is a peanut brittle I concocted from several different recipes I have seen and used for peanut brittle over the years. It's a fun twist on the standard brittle and tastes like a mix between hot cinnamon candies and peanut brittle.
