• Cooking Time: 15 minutes, 1 hour to co
• Servings: 12
• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• 2 cups Tropical Food’s Diet Delight®
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup corn syrup
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ cup water
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ½ tsp. apple pie spice
• 1 tbsp. baking soda

1. Grease baking sheet with butter and set aside for later use.
2. Coat the interior of a heavy 3 quart saucepan with butter.
3. Add sugars, corn syrup, maple syrup, salt and water to the coated saucepan.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once a rapid boil is achieved, add butter. Continue boiling until a temperature of 310 degrees is indicated on a candy thermometer. (Topping the mixture with a lid helps during this process to increase the heat within the saucepan without burning the mixture.)
5. Once at 310 degrees, add Diet Delight®, vanilla, apple pie spice, and baking soda. Quickly stir in ingredients and pour onto the buttered baking sheet while the mixture is foamy; spread as thin as possible.
6. Allow the mixture to set and cool completely, approximately one hour.
7. Once cool, break brittle into pieces and serve.
