Best Ever Nut Brittle
Ready In: 20 mins
Yields: 2 pounds
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter (I used salted since I did not have the sea salt)
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 ounces dry roasted salted peanuts or 12 ounces cashews or 12 ounces pecans, etc
- fleur de sel (I did not have or use this) or crushed maldon sea salt (I did not have or use this)
Directions
- In large saucepan, combine sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to boil.
- Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel is light brown and registers 300°F on candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda. The mixture will bubble.
- Stir in nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a large rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
- Using the back of a large spoon (oil lightly if sticks), spread the brittle into a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle with salt.
- Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Break brittle into large shards.
