Quite simple as well. This will be a Christmas tradition for sure. The cooking time does not include cooling time. 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:
1. In large saucepan, combine sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to boil.
2. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel is light brown and registers 300°F on candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda. The mixture will bubble.
4. Stir in nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a large rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
5. Using the back of a large spoon (oil lightly if sticks), spread the brittle into a thin, even layer.
6. Sprinkle with salt.
7. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
8. Break brittle into large shards.
