Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 0.5 cup corn syrup
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 cups mixed nuts roasted
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set it near the stove.
  2. Boil the sugar, corn syrup, and water until the mixture turns deep amber.
  3. Stir in the nuts and butter, cooking another minute until well coated.
  4. Remove from heat, quickly whisk in the baking soda, then pour onto the parchment and spread thin.
  5. Cool completely until hard, then break into rough bars.

Notes

Work fast once the baking soda goes in, because the brittle sets quickly as it cools.
