ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 12 ounces pistachios, and or 12 ounces pecans
- crushed sea salt
directions
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to a boil.
- Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is light brown and registers 300° on a candy thermometer, 10 minutes.

- The brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
