And if there's one thing I know about, it's brittle -- my family founded Pease's Candy in Illinois, which used to sp

Morning Glory's Max Lesser, an Echo Park resident and new dad who was formerly a private chef, has come up with several flavors full of savory spices that take brittle to a whole new level. The only one not pictured above is the peanut/fleur de sel -- it's the closest to a traditional peanut brittle, and I gobbled it up so fast I didn't have time to photograph it.
Here's the flavor rundown:
Fleur de sel and peanut: This hint of salt was just what old-fashioned brittle needed to put it over the top, in a good way.
Chai tea and cashew: Nice hint of chai flavor, and cashews make a good brittle.
Coffee nib, cocoa bean, pecan: A little gritty but the deep flavor and slight caffeine kick really grows on you.
New Mexico chili and pumpkin seed: A spicy finish makes this one fun to eat.
Indian curry/pistachio: I like curry, but this one might have been a little heavy on the cumin or something -- good but not my favorite.
Morning Glory Brittle is available at:
Big Sugar Bakeshop - Studio City
Belwood Bakery - Brentwood
Lark Cake Shop - Silver Lake
Susina Bakery and Cafe - L.A.

I love brittle and look forward to trying Morning Glory's. You probably know this already but See's Candy makes fantastic brittle (and they're also right here in L.A.}
I've had them and they are great.
Fabulous stuff! I keep changing my favorite. Right now it's the Fleur de Sel with peanuts.
This is by far the best brittle I have tasted. I am glad his stand is right next to mine at the Melrose Place farmers market.
