🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the brittle from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Crush the rose petals: In a small bowl, gently crush the dried rose petals using your fingers or the back of a spoon. You want them to be finely ground, but still retain some texture. Set aside.
- Combine sugar and water: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is moistened. This ensures even cooking and prevents crystallization later on.
- Cook the sugar mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture come to a boil *without stirring*. This is crucial for achieving the right caramelization. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. It should reach 300°F (149°C), also known as the hard-crack stage. Be patient, this may take about 10-15 minutes.
- Add rose petals and hemp hearts: Once the sugar mixture reaches 300°F (149°C), remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the crushed rose petals, hemp hearts, and vanilla extract. Work quickly, as the mixture will start to harden as it cools.
- Pour and spread: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or offset knife to spread it into a thin, even layer. The thinner the layer, the crispier the brittle will be.
- Sprinkle with sea salt: While the brittle is still warm and pliable, sprinkle it with flaky sea salt. The salt enhances the sweetness and adds a delightful savory note.
- Cool completely: Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature. This may take about 30-45 minutes. Don't try to rush it by placing it in the refrigerator, as this can affect the texture.
- Break into pieces: Once the brittle is completely cool and hardened, break it into smaller pieces using your hands. It should snap easily.
- Enjoy! Store the Rosy Salted Hemp Heart Harmony in an airtight container at room temperature. Share it with friends, family, or keep it all to yourself – I won't judge!
