Macadamia Almond Brittle
|
 |
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
3/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
In a 1-1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and corn syrup . Microwave on
high for 3 minutes. Stir in nuts. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until a
candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Quickly stir in butter,
vanilla and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. When bubbles
subside, pour onto a greased baking sheet, spreading as thinly as possible with a
metal spatula. Cool completely; break into pieces. Store in an airtight container
with waxed paper between the layers.
Yield: about 1 pound.
