Can you freeze coconut nut brittle?

Question

I want to make a coconut macadamia nut brittle, but it will make too much. Can I freeze the leftovers or would it get gummy?

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
4 ounces chopped macadamia nuts
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Spread coconut evenly over a buttered baking sheet.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high 3 minutes. Stir in nuts and microwave 4 minutes more. Stir in butter and vanilla and return to microwave for 1 minute. Stir in soda until light and slightly foamy. Pour over coconut in pan. Let cool until firm, 1 hour. Break into pieces

Answer 1

Yes. It will sweat when you thaw it out though. You may not need to freeze it at all depending on how long you plan on keeping it. It should store in a tin cookie container or airtight glass jar for several months and be ok.

Answer 2

First make sure the brittle is cooled and then wrap it in plastic wrap then put into a Ziploc bag and throw into your freezer.
This method works for everything from salmon, meats, cheese and lots of things I buy in bulk but only need smaller portions of it.

By the way that brittle sounds yummy. Want to share it with me?

Answer 3

it should freeze fine for several months, at least. should be able to store it in an airtight container in the pantry for a long time, too, since the sugar is a preservative.
