  • 2 cups sugar
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup water , plus
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

  2. Combine the sugar, butter, water, and corn syrup in a large saucepan and stir until all the sugar is wet.
  3. Cook over high heat, stirring, until the mixture turns medium golden (300°F).

  6. Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out using the back of the spoon before it starts to harden. (It may not cover the whole pan).
