Making nut brittle is not only easy, but it also allows you to get creative in the kitchen. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, from almonds to pecans, to customize the flavor to your taste. The process of melting sugar into a golden caramel is incredibly satisfying, and the aroma that fills your kitchen as it cooks is simply irresistible. Once you pour the caramel over your nuts and let it set the most challenging part will be waiting for it to cool before you indulge. Get ready to enjoy a crunchy, sweet snack that's perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!

Nut Brittle

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup nuts, roughly chopped

blank

  • Cutting Board

  • Chef Knife

  • Half Sheet Pan

  • Silpat

  • Pastry Brush

  • Saucepan

  • Spoon

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet pan with a Silpat or parchment paper. Place the nuts in the middle in one layer.

  2. In small to medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Once it comes to a bubble, stop stirring. Use wet pastry brush to dissolve any sugar crystals that form around the sides. Swirl the pan from time to time so that it cooks evenly, until the caramel turns amber.

  3. Pour it over the nuts on the tray. Once set, break it into small pieces. Store in a sealed container at room temperature until required.
