I used chopped pieces of chewy caramel candy during my first go around with this recipe. Unless you cut the candy into really small pieces (too much work if you ask me), they are likely to sink and end up at the bottom of your brownie brittle. The caramel syrup stays suspended at the top and is so ridiculously easy to incorporate! If you like the idea of little bits in your brittle, check out the mix-in ideas below.
