Indulge in the delightful crunch of homemade nut brittle, a classic confection perfect for gifting or enjoying as a sweet treat. Properly stored, this sugary delight can maintain its crisp texture and rich flavor for an extended period.

Storage Time

Up to 2 weeks in a cool, dry pantry; 1 month if refrigerated.

Temperature

Ideal pantry temperature is between 18-22°C (65-72°F). Avoid humid environments.

Freezing

Nut brittle can be frozen to preserve its freshness for longer. Wrap individual pieces or small batches tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let it come to room temperature in its packaging to prevent condensation, which can make it sticky. While freezing is effective, some slight texture changes might occur upon thawing, though the flavor generally remains excellent.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sticky or soft texture, indicating moisture absorption.
• Development of a stale or rancid smell from the nuts.
• Visible mold growth, especially if stored in a humid environment.
