Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Salted Caramel Nut Brittle Treats.
Step 1
Begin by lining a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil, setting it aside for later use.
Step 2
In a sturdy 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the sugar, water, and corn syrup.
Step 3
Bring this mixture to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely while avoiding any splashes on the pan's sides.
Step 4
Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the thermometer reads 290ยฐF (143ยฐC).
Step 5
Alternatively, you can test by dropping a small amount into very cold water; it should form hard, yet not brittle, threads.
Step 6
This process typically takes around 18 minutes, so keep a watchful eye during the final five minutes to prevent overcooking.
Step 7
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat and take out the thermometer.
Step 8
Carefully pour the hot mixture into your prepared baking pan, tilting it to ensure an even spread.
Step 9
Allow it to rest for about two minutes.
Step 10
In a separate small bowl, mix together the chopped cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.
Step 11
Evenly sprinkle this nutty blend over the warm candy.
Step 12
Finally, place the baking pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Once cooled, break the brittle into large, satisfying pieces and enjoy the delightful crunch of your homemade treat.
