• Pine nuts have a very distinctive flavour – delicate and slightly sweet. Their soft texture is a great contrast to the crunchy brittle, and the mix of sweet and salty adds an unexpected kick to this treat. Salted caramel and rosemary pine nut brittle is perfect for sharing, as you can snap it into as many pieces as you’d like!
