A nut-free brittle that anyone can enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz oats old fashioned
  • 7 oz sugar
  • 3 oz brown sugar
  • 5 oz water
  • 3 oz Golden Syrup available in many UK shops and grocery stores or Amazon
  • 1 oz butter
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the sugars, Golden Syrup and water in a heavy pan over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Add butter and bring to a boil, but do not stir.
  • Simmer gently until a little of the mixture dropped into cold water separates into brittle threads (310˚ F/154˚ C on a candy thermometer).
  • Stir in the baking soda, then add the oats and stir quickly.
  • Pour onto a buttered or silicone lined cookie sheet.
  • Allow to cool completely then break into pieces as desired. Store in an airtight tin.

Notes

  • Great for gifts when given in a jar or tin with a pretty bow or ribbon.
  • If using for sticky toffee porridge or for other desserts, crush into small pieces.
