Our Tuxedo Sesame Seed Blend gives this brittle major presentation points. Baking soda (which is alkaline) will react to naturally forming acids as the sugar caramelizes, creating tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide that maximize the candy's crisp, crunchy texture. Sprinkle the cooling brittle with flakes of Fleur de Sel for an added salty crunch.
