Nuts

Salt and Baking Soda

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the brittle from sticking.

  2. 2

    Mix Nuts

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted peanuts, almonds, and pecans. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Sugar Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.

  2. 4

    Boil and Add Flavor

    Once boiling, stop stirring and let the mixture boil for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda.

  3. 5

    Combine with Nuts

    Quickly pour the hot sugar mixture over the mixed nuts in the bowl. Stir to coat the nuts evenly.

Setting

  1. 6

    Spread on Baking Sheet

    Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Use a spatula to help shape it if necessary.

  2. 7

    Cool and Break

    Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, break into pieces and store in holiday tubs or containers.
