Need an idea for a super bowl snack? Can’t go wrong with 🍺& 🥜. When choosing a beer for the brittle, the darker the better in order to get flavor through. I used Sierra Nevada’s classic stout. Plus it gave us an excuse to drive up there on a gorgeous January day and hang out at the brewery near Asheville. Have you ever gone? Worth the trip wherever you’re from!
