Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup roasted unsalted mixed nuts
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup honey mild flavor preferred
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2.5 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.25 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt optional, for sprinkling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly grease it. Warm nuts on the sheet in a low oven.
  • Combine sugar, honey, and water in a heavy saucepan. Attach a candy thermometer.
  • Cook over medium heat without stirring until the syrup reaches 250°F. Swirl the pan if needed.
  • Continue cooking to 295°F, then stir in butter and fine salt. Return to 300°F (hard crack).
  • Remove from heat. Quickly mix in vanilla, then sprinkle in baking soda and stir until foamy and light.
  • Fold in warm nuts. Immediately pour onto the prepared sheet and spread thinly with spatulas.
  • Sprinkle flaky salt if using. Cool completely, then break into shards and store airtight.

Notes

Variation: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne with the salt for a warm or spicy finish. Try swapping mixed nuts for all peanuts or cashews. Storage: Keep brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If it softens, chill for 10 minutes, then return to room temp to crisp up.
