Honey Garlic Brittle

DIRECTIONS

• To make chili honey, take the honey and place 4 chilies (I roasted them slightly first) and then place in a jar overnight.
• If you want, you can puree some of the chilies with the garlic for a extra kick.
• For the Brittle: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper.
• Combine the water and sugar in a large nonstick heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Stir to dissolve the sugar, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the corn syrup, honey, and salt, and stir constantly and slowly with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 2 minutes.
• Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer.
• Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the butter, garlic puree, and baking soda and stir until the butter is completely melted, about 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture onto the baking sheets, being careful as it is very hot, and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
• Let cool completely.
• Break the brittle into shards.
