HOW TO MAKE COSTCO NUT AND SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees F then line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, take a large mixing bowl and add into it chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, raisins, sesame seeds, shredded coconut, and sea salt, then everything well to combine.
• Now, you want to combine all the wet ingredients which are coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract, all in a small bowl.
• Next, go ahead and slowly drizzle wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, make sure to stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated and the seed mixture is sticky and begins to form into a bit of a ball.
• At this point, you need to transfer the mixture to a baking sheet, with the use of your hands, evenly spread out the seed mixture on the baking sheet until it is about 1/4″ thick.
• Make sure it's sticky enough, if needed, use your hands to encourage it to stick together a little.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden, keep a close eye on your homemade Costco nut and seed brittle to ensure it does not burn.
• When time is up, remove the brittle from the oven and allow it to cool completely before going any further with cracking it into pieces as it will still be soft when it comes out of the oven.
• Once your brittle has cooled down, go ahead and use a knife or a meat mallet and crack or cut into pieces then serve.
