Equipment
- 1 Cookie Sheet Pan 9" x 13"
- 1 Parchment Paper or SilPat (Silpat is preferred)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- ½ Cup Water
- 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- ⅓ Cup Corn Syrup (Dark or Light)
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 12 Ounces Roasted Nuts of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare a 9" x 13" sheet pan by lining with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
- Combine granulated sugar, water, butter and corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan.
- Begin heating over medium-high heat stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to boil.
- Wipe the inside of the pan with a clean brush dipped in cold water to remove any sugar crystals.
- Continue to cook until the caramel reaches 300°. This will take 8 - 12 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add the baking soda and stir briefly. Use caution as the caramel may sputter.
- Add the nuts and stir quickly to ensure all nuts are coated with the caramel.
- Working quickly, pour the mixture onto a Silpat or other heat-resistant surface. Smooth the mixture with a spatula.
- Cool the nut brittle completely (about 40 minutes) and break pieces.
