Chardonnay Brittle

Filed in archive Food and Wine on July 21, 2006

Wine is not just for drinking.

As many foodies know already, it can be a wonderful addition to many recipes. But candy?

Yes, that's right. This is the second time I've seen the idea of candy and wine pop up on line lately.

This time it's from Cool Hunting, who have all kinds of cool finds:

With temperatures in the 90s in NYC their brittles offer a better choice for summer. It started with their classic Beer Brittle, a twist on the classic peanut brittle with a subtle flavor from the addition of micro-brewed ale. This award-winning brittle is nicely balanced between sweet and salty. They upped the ante with their Firey Beer Brittle, which adds a strong but not overpowering chili kick. Their new Chardonnay Brittle features a lighter and more delicate flavor with the addition of local white Chardonnay.

Anette's brittles are available online, half-pound boxes are $9.95.

I took a visit to Anette's web site, and boy, forget about the diet! But what a way to go!
