Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 tsp plus 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (10 oz) mixed nuts without peanuts
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:

  1. Butter a baking sheet with 1-1/2 teaspoons of butter; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 270° (soft-crack stage), stirring occasionally.
