Recipe Type: candy

Author: COOKINA

Serves: 1 lb brittle

Ingredients to make Salted Macadamia Nut Brittle

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup light-colored corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups lightly toasted and crushed Macadamia nuts
• ½ tsp. coarse salt
• Directions:

How to Make Salted Macadamia Nut Brittle

1. Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed pot.
2. Cook over medium heat, often stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Turn the heat up to high and cook until the bubbles get smaller and the mixture turns a light amber color, about 10 minutes, or 300°F.
4. Stir in the nuts and cook for 1 more minute.
5. Quickly pour the mixture onto a baking pan lined with a COOKINA® Cuisine sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula or wooden spoon.
6. Sprinkle salt throughout before the mixture cools.
7. Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then break apart and enjoy or package in an airtight container for later.

Tip:

Don’t attempt doing it without a thermometer because the candy has to reach 300°F, which is the hard-crack stage of candy making, and makes the brittle, well,  brittle!
