Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Coat a large baking sheet with 2 TBSP. of the butter; set aside.
  2. Combine the sugar, water, molasses, and corn syrup in a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat , and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 268 degrees F on a candy thermometer (about 10 minutes). Brush down the sides of the pan two times with a pastry brush dipped in warm water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  3. Add 1 TBSP. of the butter, the salt, and walnuts, and cook the mixture until it registers 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and with a long-handled wooden spoon rapidly stir in the baking soda and vanilla. Be careful; the mixture will bubble and foam vigorously.
  5. Immediately turn the mixture onto the buttered baking sheet and spread out thin with the wooden spoon.
  6. Let the brittle cool for 5 minutes, then loosen it from the pan with a flexible-blade spatula. Butter your fingers with the remaining 1 TBSP. butter and stretch the brittle as thin as possible. Let it cool completely (about 30 minutes), then break it into pieces with your hands.
  7. The brittle will keep for up to two weeks in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
