How to Make Chocolate Dipped Nut Brittle With Sea Salt
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup water, and 4 tablespoons butter. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Continue to boil, using a candy thermometer, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) – the hard-crack stage. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds – your choice!).
- Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly and evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle generously with sea salt.
- Let the brittle cool completely and harden (at least 1 hour).
- Once cooled, break the brittle into pieces.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the brittle pieces into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped brittle pieces on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with extra sea salt, if desired.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
