How to Make Nut Brittle
- Combine 2 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds – your choice!), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup honey in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 10-12 minutes, until the mixture reaches a deep amber color and thickens significantly. Be patient, this is key to achieving the perfect texture!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Quickly pour the hot brittle onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to about 1/3-inch thickness using the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Let the brittle cool for 3-4 minutes. Then, using a sharp knife, score the brittle into approximately 24, 2-inch squares. This makes breaking it into pieces later much easier.
- Allow the brittle to cool completely. Once completely cool, snap the brittle along the scored lines to create individual pieces.
