Ingredients

Localized ingredient list prepared for quick scanning.

  • 1 cup dry roasted salted peanuts
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Method

Follow the steps in order for the best result.

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the peanuts, pistachios, pecan halves, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and honey.
  2. Using a sturdy wooden spoon, stir the mixture continuously until it transforms into a beautiful walnut color and noticeably thickens. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
  3. Swiftly pour the hot mixture onto a baking sheet that has been lined with foil. Use the back of a spoon to spread the brittle evenly to a thickness of about 1/3 inch.
  4. Allow the brittle to cool for 3-4 minutes. While it's still slightly pliable, use a sharp knife to score it into roughly 24 squares, each measuring about 2 inches.
  5. Once the brittle has completely cooled and hardened, snap it apart along the scored lines to create individual pieces.
