How we make our cashew and almond brittles
At Cecilia’s Farm, we make our nut brittle by coating the finest quality nuts and seeds in a generous serving of buttery caramel.
The ingredients are mixed and poured onto a flat baking tray. Once the caramel cools, it forms a hard brittle layer. This is cracked, by hand, into jagged portions.
The combination of dry-roasted, salted nuts and golden caramel is delightful, both in taste and texture.
Culinary uses for nut brittle
We like our nut brittle best all on its own, eaten as an irresistible sweet treat. However, nut brittles have also gained popularity for various culinary uses.
It can be roughly crushed and used to add texture, taste and visual appeal to popular desserts, from tarts to trifles, cheesecakes and brownies. It’s also delicious on ice cream.
Alternatively, break up our nut brittle and use to top soft cheeses served with salty biscuits and a fine Koelfontein wine.

We roast our cashews on the farm using a traditional Middle Eastern salt-roasting process, ensuring they keep the best possible texture and flavour. These combine beautifully with brittle caramel.
Or opt for the freshest, crunchiest South African almonds, mixed with roasted pumpkin seeds before being encased in caramel.
