Sweet Success: 5 Brittle-Inspired Desserts for Graduation Parties

Caps off to crunchy celebrations! Whether you’re hosting a backyard blowout or a low-key open house, graduation season is the perfect time to turn simple sweets into unforgettable moments. Our signature peanut brittle brings bold flavor and snap to every dessert—no cake knife required.

From peanut-buttery blondies to a sundae bar your valedictorian guests will never forget, here are five easy, crowd-pleasing graduation dessert ideas you can whip up using Brittle-Brittle’s best-selling brittle. Bonus: they scale beautifully for 12, 24, or even 50 guests.

🎓 1. Cupcakes with Gourmet Peanut Brittle

Upgrade your standard cupcakes with a fun grad-day twist. Top chocolate or vanilla cupcakes with square-shaped chocolate pieces, a candy tassel—and a shard of gourmet Peanut Brittle as the “brim.” It’s a dessert and a photo op in one!

Pro Tip: Make brittle shards ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container to preserve their signature crunch.

🍯 2. Peanut-Brittle-Butter Blondies

Imagine the best peanut butter bar you’ve ever had, now topped with a peanut brittle crunch. These chewy, gooey blondies get leveled up with a generous sprinkle of Peanut Brittle just before baking.

Party Size Math: One 9x13 pan yields 24 squares. For 50 guests, double the recipe and bake in two pans.

Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze cooled blondies up to a week in advance. Just thaw the night before and slice.

🍰 3. Brittle-Crust Cheesecake Bites

These no-bake cheesecake bites are as elegant as they are easy. Use a food processor to break up the peanut brittle and then press into the bottom of a mini cupcake liner for easy serving and less cleanup after the cap toss. Then then top with sweetened cream cheese and a dot of fruit jam or lemon curd. No oven. No stress.

Flavor Swap: For a richer twist, try Gourmet Mixed-Nut Brittle as your crust base.

🍨 4. DIY Sundae Bar with Brittle Crumble

Set up a sundae station where grads can scoop their own ice cream and pile on toppings. The standout? Crushed gourmet Peanut Brittle adds sweet extra texture—especially when paired with vanilla or caramel swirl.

Display Idea: Pre-crush brittle and serve in mason jars alongside chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and fruit.

Serving Math: Plan for ½ cup ice cream + 2 tbsp toppings per guest. A pound of brittle makes enough crumble for 30+ servings.

🎓 5. Graduation Parfaits with Gourmet Peanut Brittle Crunch

Think layers of creamy, crunchy, and sweet perfection—all in a clear cup that shows off your grad party colors. These mini peanut brittle parfaits are elegant enough for a celebration and easy enough for a crowd.

How to Make:

Layer vanilla pudding (or whipped mascarpone) with crushed Gourmet Peanut Brittle, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and sliced bananas or strawberries. Top with whipped cream and a final brittle shard standing tall like a grad cap tassel.

Presentation Idea: Use clear 5 oz plastic cups and gold mini spoons for an upscale grab-and-go dessert.

Flavor Swap: Mix in chocolate pudding layers or a peanut butter mousse for even more richness.
